Introducing potential food allergens to your baby can feel overwhelming, but it's an important step in promoting a healthy start.
In this video, we explore the latest science around introducing common food allergens, like peanuts and eggs, to babies as early as 4 to 6 months of age. Studies suggest early exposure may help reduce the risk of developing food allergies. We’ll cover important tips, such as checking with your pediatrician, introducing foods in small amounts, and monitoring your baby for any allergic reactions.
Be sure to follow your pediatrician’s advice and always introduce new foods when your baby is healthy and in a familiar environment.
