SHOW NOTES
Dr. Ron Sunog, MD
SUMMARY of episode
In this episode, I’m covering:
Why babies should continue to be introduced to allergenic foods during COVID-19...and why the benefits of introducing far outweigh those of withholding
What to look out for if your baby does have a reaction and how to respond...it’s less common and less scary than you might think
Safe ideas for introducing peanut protein to early eaters who can’t yet eat intact nuts or globs of peanut butter because of choking risk
