🍼 Here’s a quick tip you may not know about milk allergy prevention and babies, to kick off Allergy Awareness month 💛

❤️ The immune system doesn’t like it when we introduce an allergen during infancy and then stop feeding it.

🩵 Case in point - early discontinuation of cow’s milk formula during infancy is associated with the development of milk allergy (PMID: 34403836)

💛 So if you have a baby who is breastfed, but a milk-based formula is introduced and tolerated (especially within the first month of life) research shows that we should keep it in the diet to help maintain the baby’s tolerance, even if the plan is to breastfeed exclusively.

❤️ As little as 2 teaspoons per day will do the trick (and this tiny amount will not affect breastfeeding); and once the baby starts solids, dairy foods like yogurt and cheese can take over.

🩵 Need help with starting solids, finding recipes the whole family (baby included) can enjoy, and navigating food allergy prevention during infancy all at the same time?

🌟🌟🌟 Comment below and I’ll send you a link to my FREE GUIDE to safely introducing allergens (and keeping them in the diet with ease). It gives you the latest research on safely introducing all top 9 allergens + recipes that make it simple to continue offering them consistently.
