Allergenic foods
In the past, parents were advised to delay the introduction of allergenic
food into their child’s diet. Now, allergenic foods are introduced like any
other food. If there is concern, counsel the parent to wait 2 days between
introduction of an allergenic food and another food. If a reaction is to
occur, it will occur over those 48 hours. There is emerging data to support
that the early introduction of common allergens, such as peanuts, may
actually help prevent allergies.
