New Peanut Allergy Advice
Feeding peanuts to babies early may help them avoid peanut allergies, says the latest guidelines from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “This won’t outright prevent every single case of peanut allergy – there will still be some cases – but the number could be significantly reduced by tens of thousands,†Dr. Greenhawt said. “In the best case scenario, every allergist across the U.S. could be seeing fewer cases of peanut allergy — and that’s a good problem to have.â€
Hoping this is a huge step forward for avoiding a lifetime of food allergies for many, many children.
