A member asked:

I have eoe. will extended breastfeeding increase my babies chances of getting eoe? should i still introduce top allergens by 8 mths old? thank you!

Dr. John Chiu answered

No data: There is no data regarding whether delayed introduction of table foods increases the risk for EoE. However introduction of table foods beyond 6 months will increase the risk for the baby to develop food allergies.

My son is 3 weeks 5 days old and exclusively breastfeeding. 11 days ago at his pediatrician appointment he was 8 lbs 15.6 oz. Today, he is 9 lbs 8.8 oz on our infant home scale. Is this any cause for concern or is this normal weight gain?
