Thanks to our friends at WIC for this info!
Did you know? Your baby’s skin can play a role in whether they develop a food allergy! Even before your baby is introduced to solids and new foods, they can still still come into direct contact with food allergens through their skin. If this happens regularly, it may increase their chances of developing an allergy to that particular food.
Studies show that while eating an allergen early can protect your baby from that food allergy, but if that same food touches their skin regularly, it can actually raise the risk of an allergy.
So how can you do to help protect your baby’s skin? We suggest: Wash your hands after eating, especially if the food you ate is a common allergen. Then wash your hands again before touching your baby’s skin, such as during diaper changes or when putting on lotions or creams.

From our friends at WIC:
Did you know there’s something you can do to help prevent your baby from developing food allergies? Evidence shows that introducing of major food allergens early can significantly lower the risk of food allergies among children. 💡
You can introduce safely food allergens at the same time you start to offer other solid foods to your baby by taking steps like:
🔹 Paying attention to timing: Start offering food allergens to your baby when they are developmentally ready, around 4 to 6 months, when other solids are introduced.
🔹 Avoiding choking risks: Baby’s first foods should always be in baby friendly forms.
🔹 Being consistent: Any progress is a great start! The key is to be consistent and gradually increase the amount of each allergen they eat.
🔹 Offering lots of variety: While you don’t want to offer two new foods in the same meal, giving your baby a chance to try lots of different foods over time helps them experience different flavors, textures, and nutrients.
🔹 Keeping your healthcare and WIC team in the loop: Talk to your healthcare team and WIC clinic staff about food allergies early, even at your 1- or 3-month appointments or at WIC check-ins! They are here to support you with your feeding plans.

Sharing from our friends at Women, Infants, and Children (W(C)
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month 🗓️ It’s the perfect time to learn about food allergies in babies and toddlers and how to manage them in everyday life! A food allergy happens when the immune system overreacts to a specific protein (an allergen) in a food, treating it like a threat. This can trigger symptoms ranging from mild to severe, also known as an “allergic reaction.” 🍞🥛🥜
