> There’s more to the story than timing, notably my first has eczema and asthma too so there’s that atopic march. Eczema often comes with digestive issues, bowl inflammation, loose stool, blood in the stool etc. Eczema essentially gives you wounds, if you allow allergens to enter the bloodstream directly without going through the digestive tract you are at an increased risk of developing allergies. For kids/babies with these kind of issues it's probably better to delay introducing common allergens until their gut can heal or you will end up causing allergies rather than preventing them.
