The main reason is to be able to see if your child has an allergic reaction to any new food. If you were to introduce three or four new items within a day or so of each other, and baby had an allergic reaction, you would have no way of know which food caused it.

By adding only one food at a time, you can monitor how well your baby tolerates it before adding something else.
