Early Infant Feeding: A Window to Prevent Food Allergies

(Recorded on January 28, 2021. Viewing the recording of this presentation is eligible for CPEU credit until January 28. 2024)

This webinar is the highly anticipated follow up session to our December 2020 webinar, Maternal and Early Child Feeding: The Impact of Nutrition on Food Allergy Development Pre-birth Through 2 Years. Recent research has changed the recommendations for feeding infants. Following the groundbreaking LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut allergies) study, international consensus recommended introducing peanut foods to prevent peanut allergies. Subsequently released research findings have given support to the introduction of egg for allergy prevention too. In this session, infant feeding experts Sherry Coleman Collins, MS, RDN, LD and Malina Malkani, MS, RDN, CDN walk attendees through the latest research and guidelines on preventing food allergies. This session also features an introduction to a new category of grocery products, food allergy prevention foods for babies and toddlers, and a discussion on easy ways to introduce common allergens to infants safely.
