If you want to add the food you are allergic to before, make it as expensive and nutritious as possible, which can reduce the degree of allergic reaction.
2. Add one category at a time, with a small dose at the beginning, and then gradually increase the amount after observing the reaction. Before adding other foods, you should make sure that they are not allergic.
3. "Simple" variety. If you were allergic to milk before, you should choose pure milk instead of colorful formula milk, which can effectively reduce the allergy.
