Starting solids can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to introducing allergens. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Carina Venter, Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Colorado/University of Colorado, Chair of the EAACI Work Group on Immunomodulation and Nutrition, and developer of the world-famous Immunobutters at letsgrowhappy.com.
Dr. Venter breaks down everything parents need to know about safely and confidently introducing allergens to their babies. We cover:
- The most common food allergens parents should be aware of when starting solids.
- How to feel prepared and confident before offering allergenic foods.
- The safest ways to introduce allergens (like thinned peanut butter vs whole nuts).
- Why spacing out new allergens matters and how to do it.
- What to do if your baby has a reaction—plus when to seek medical help.
This episode is packed with practical advice to make feeding your baby less stressful and more empowering.
