Basically, my (layman's) understanding is that waiting isn't going to stop an allergy from developing- but your doctor might want to wait until the baby is older for some other reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252933 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 08:03:48 +0000 spaniellove 1252933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: If there is a family history (I have multiple severe food allergies and several close relatives have a history as well) is early introduction still a good idea? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252735 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:29:04 +0000 Arden 1252735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252451 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:52:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1252451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: these are great resources, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252411 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:02:59 +0000 Silva 1252411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a Good summary, too: <a href="http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php?id=108" rel="nofollow">http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php?id=108</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252408 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:57:11 +0000 Silva 1252408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have links for any primary sources, but did find this: <a href="http://aapnewsde.aap.org/aapnews-open/201302_o/m3/Page.action?pg=13" rel="nofollow">http://aapnewsde.aap.org/aapnews-open/201302_o/m3/Page.action?pg=13</a></p> <p>My husband is in pediatric residency, and has told me (along with our pediatrician) that there are multiple, very compelling studies out showing that earlier introduction is best. We have no family history of allergies. My daughter is 7 months, and we have given her wheat, dairy (yogurt and cheese), eggs (yolk and white), strawberries, mango, and peanuts. </p> <p>If you are looking for primary sources I can ask my husband for some</p> <p>Eta: I think the consensus is that delaying does not protect against the development of allergies, and new research is suggesting that earlier introduction may actually help.<br /> Unless you have a history of family allergies, I'd go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-potential-allergens-looking-for-articles-studies-etc#post-1252403 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:50:41 +0000 Arden 1252403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to make decisions on when to introduce things like eggs (Vi's had yolks but no whites yet).</p> <p>Does anyone have good resources on recent research regarding the best time to introduce potential allergens? </p>
