Introducing peanut products to your baby early in life can help protect him/her from developing a peanut allergy later in life. You can introduce peanut products as early as 4-6 months after your baby is already eating typical foods (like fruits, vegetables and cereals). You can learn common symptoms of a food allergy and what to do if you baby has a reaction. Ask us about how to introduce peanut products at your next well baby visit.
