Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro From Fear to Food: The New Rules for Introducing Allergenic Foods with Kelly Clear, MD, FAAP
#60: Worried about introducing allergenic foods like peanut, egg, or tree nuts to your baby? You’re not alone…but the latest research shows that early, consistent introduction can actually help prevent food allergies.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly Clear, MD, FAAP, pediatrician and Medical Director of FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), to unpack the new rules for allergen introduction. We’re breaking down why so many parents still feel fear, what the Eat Early, Eat Often campaign is all about, and how to confidently feed allergenic foods—even if food allergies run in your family.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. Why early introduction of allergenic foods is recommended and how it helps prevent food allergy,
2. How to safely get your baby to taste these allergenic foods…even if they don’t have teeth yet
3. What to do if you baby has an allergic reaction…and why it probably doesn’t involve going to the ER
