Be Alert For Any Allergies While Introducing New Foods

Team AckoFeb 24, 2025

  • While introducing new foods to your child, you should be aware of the eight foods that causes 90% of food allergies. They are milk, wheat, soy, eggs, peanuts, treenuts (walnuts or almonds), seafood and fish. Also, consult your child's paediatrician about food allergens.

  • Start introducing new foods gradually. Introduce one  new food along with foods that are safe and wait for 3 to 4 days before starting a new food item.

  • You can also get an allergy test done to find out the sensitivity of your child to these foods. Your child's pediatrician can guide you more about the test.

  • Few allergies go away with time like milk and egg allergies while rest can continue.

  • If your child develops rashes, swelling, vomiting, coughs or wheezes, has difficulty breathing, immediately consult the doctor.  It could be a severe allergic reaction to a new food.

Financial Literacy for a Secure Future

As your child grows, every moment becomes an opportunity to nurture their curiosity about life. Why not introduce them to practical lessons that will shape their future? Concepts like saving, budgeting, and planning aren’t just about money—they’re about building a life of security and stability.

Take life insurance policies, for example. Rather than viewing it as a complex financial product, you can explain it as a promise to protect families and secure dreams. By planting these seeds of knowledge early, you’re giving your child the tools to grow into a confident and responsible adult who understands the value of financial planning. Teaching your child about practical tools like term insurance, such as 1 crore term insurance, can be one of the great lessons. Demonstrating how a term insurance premium calculator works may help your child learn the importance of planning, with explanations adjusted for their age and understanding.
