New Research on Food Allergy Prevention Indicates Crucial Timing of Allergen Introduction

Current research shows that how we feed babies during infancy can help reduce the risk of food allergies. However, feeding guidelines regarding allergens have changed radically in the past decade, so it's important to make sure we're not following outdated advice that doesn't align with new research. In addition, infant feeding guidelines in general have also changed. To address these updated guidelines and help parents navigate all the latest research and the process of starting solids, Malina Malkani recently released an evidenced-based baby-led feeding guide and cookbook that makes it easy to feed your baby with confidence, introduce allergens early and consistently, and offer delicious, stress-free meals the whole family will enjoy.

Tune into this episode to learn about:

       Why food allergy prevention strategies are necessary for all babies, not just those at increased risk

       What the current research shows about best practices to reduce the risk of food allergies

       How infant feeding guidelines have changed regarding food allergies and in general

       The risk factors for developing food allergies

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
