Food allergy prevention and treatment
Feeding guidelines for peanuts and other common allergens have shifted dramatically over the past generation, driven by major scientific advances. So it’s understandable for parents and patients to have questions. We’ve got answers.
Early introduction & preventing allergies
Feeding infants peanut-containing foods beginning as early as 4-6 months can reduce the risk of peanut allergy by up to 86 percent. By advocating for early introduction, you help parents take a proactive step to reduce the risk of preventable peanut allergies. You’re also supporting a child’s curiosity for a wide range of nutritious foods and fostering more adventurous eating habits. Most importantly, you’re helping give every child in your care a stronger, healthier start in life.
