Abstract
Timing of first exposure to solid foods for children has been changed over the last 40 years. In the 1970s, there was growing evidence supporting an association between timing of weaning and the increasing prevalence of allergic diseases. Many studies recommended delaying solids after 6 months of age based on the concept that introducing solids too early could play a role in food allergy.
 Conversely, through the last years, several studies have investigated whether delay in timing of solid food introduction after 6 months of age could determine food allergy instead of preventing it. Furthermore if an early weaning could have more favorable results than postponing it. This review discusses the current guidelines about the optimal timing of introduction of solids in children.
