Should I delay allergens if there’s family history?

No. Current AAP guidelines recommend early introduction regardless of family history. In fact, high-risk infants (those with severe eczema or egg allergy) benefit most from early peanut introduction as shown in the LEAP study, which reduced peanut allergy by 86%.

What if my baby has a mild reaction?

Mild symptoms like a few hives around the mouth or slight fussiness don’t necessarily mean your baby is allergic. Continue offering the food in small amounts and monitor. Many mild reactions resolve with continued exposure as the immune system builds tolerance.

How much should I give at first?

Start with tiny amounts: a smear of peanut butter the size of a grain of rice, or a quarter teaspoon of well-cooked egg. Gradually increase to 2 teaspoons daily if no reaction occurs over 3-5 days.
