Advising Parents on Complementary Feeding and Food Allergy Prevention

Overview / Abstract:	Complementary feeding can be a stressful period for caregivers of infants, with confusing and often conflicting guidance regarding best practices. This education begins with an overview of current recommendations for complementary feeding before focusing on early allergen introduction between 4 and 6 months of age. The data supporting early allergen introduction are reviewed along with current real-world practices and recommendations for improving uptake. Using a case-based approach, common concerns related to early introduction and best practices for confidently addressing these concerns are reviewed.
