Peanut: How to Introduce Your Baby to this Potentially Allergenic Food

#14: Feeding peanut protein to your baby early and often can help prevent peanut allergy. But it can be hard to figure out a safe way to feed peanuts to your baby. Intact peanuts and globs of peanut butter are choking hazards for babies.

 

In this episode I cover why we now introduce peanuts early and often and how much guidance and recommendations about peanuts for babies has changed in the last decade. I walk you through how peanut protein introduction differs for high risk babies vs. babies at lower risk for developing peanut allergies.

 

You will learn 3 simple strategies for safely introducing peanuts to your baby so you can feed your baby peanut early and often (but do so safely!) to help prevent peanut allergy.
