Food allergy prevention and feeding babies potentially allergenic foods... what does the evidence say?

Recommendations for when to feed babies certain foods have changed over the years. You may have had one set of recommendations for one child, then with another child, you had different recommendations! So when should babies first have foods like scrambled eggs and peanut butter? 

We know that early introduction of potentially allergenic foods can certainly help prevent allergy in some children. But how does that actually translate out into practice? How does that directly affect families? 

Tune into this podcast with food allergy expert Dr. Brian Schroer, Director of Allergy and Immunology at Akron Children's Hospital, as Pam and I discuss with him his fantastic article “Practical challenges and considerations for early introduction of potential food allergens for prevention of food allergy,” from the peer-reviewed Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
