Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro BONUS: Is it Safe to Introduce Allergenic Foods During COVID-19? With Dr. Ron Sunog, MD
BONUS: Wondering if you need to hold off on introducing allergenic foods to your baby because of COVID-19 or coronavirus? Pediatrician and food allergy expert Dr. Ron Sunog joins me to discuss starting allergenic foods with your baby during COVID-19.
In this episode Dr. Sunog walks us through what puts a baby at high or elevated risk for food allergies. Babies who are not at elevated risk will benefit from earlier introduction of potentially allergenic foods, even during COVID-19.
Dr. Sunog explains how you can determine if your baby is at high risk for food allergies, and how you can safely proceed introducing these foods even during the coronavirus quarantine.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- Why babies should continue to be introduced to allergenic foods during COVID-19...and why the benefits of introducing far outweigh those of withholding
- What to look out for if your baby does have a reaction and how to respond...it’s less common and less scary than you might think
- Safe ideas for introducing peanut protein to early eaters who can’t yet eat intact nuts or globs of peanut butter because of choking risk
