SUMMARY OF EPISODE

In this episode, I am talking about:

• How offering allergenic foods to babies “early and often” can help reduce the risk of food allergies

• The lack of data that supports offering infants a new food every 3-5 days and how about 30% of pediatricians still advise to follow this practice

• The positive benefits of a diverse diet in babies and how this can play a role in a baby’s microbiome
