In this episode, we explore the data and research being conducted on when solid foods should be introduced to infants as well as how and when foods are introduced influence food allergy development. The information covered draws heavily from the American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control as well as the European Paediatric Association. Additionally, discussion of two new research studies published in October on the development of food allergies in relation to infant food introduction are also reviewed to gain insight on how recommendations are evolving based on new data.

New episodes are published each Tuesday so stay tuned for more science-based Proactive Parenting information.

Proactive Parenting is based on validated theories and scientific research to provide the information you need to care for your modern family. Not everyone grew up in a completely healthy family of origin and consequently may be unsure of how to be a parent when they start a family. Proactive Parenting was created for parents who need a solid foundation to start raising their children, and for parents who want to do better. It is a way to move past old behaviours, break unhealthy habits, and replace them with parenting actions that will lead to a healthy family life for both children and parents.
