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.
