US EditionStudy warns parents not following guidelines to prevent food allergies in kids
- A University of Portsmouth study on 390 participants found many parents delay introducing allergenic foods to infants beyond recommended times.
- This delay conflicts with NHS and national guidelines that recommend introducing allergenic foods like eggs and nuts from around six months.
- Most infants were introduced to allergenic foods like eggs and nuts between the ages of six and nine months; however, by the time they reached one year old, 20% had yet to try eggs and approximately 33% had not been given nuts.
- Dr. Suzannah Helps highlighted that numerous parents, regardless of their family's allergy history, are not introducing allergenic foods early as recommended.
- The results reveal a disconnect between current public health guidelines and real-life feeding behaviors, indicating a need for enhanced education to reduce allergy risks in children.
