Baby Food Allergies

There is growing evidence that factors in the environment, including baby's first foods and the time of their introduction, can play a critical role when a child develops allergies.

Did you know? Milk protein is one of the most common allergens affecting babies during the first six months of life. 

Did you know? Guidelines have changed for when to introduce your baby to eggs, wheat, fish, and foods containing peanuts. Offering your baby these foods early, from around six months of age, may actually help prevent food allergy.

Recent research on food allergies has led to new recommendations for the introduction of commonly allergenic foods once babies start eating solid food. Confused? Read on for some common questions and answers that explain the latest guidelines.
