New Guidelines For Introducing Babies to Peanuts Are the Exact Opposite of What You've Been Told

After the initial five days with no reactions, continue to feed your infant peanuts a few times a week to prevent a peanut allergy from developing in the future. According to the EAT study, feeding an infant greater than two grams of peanut protein a week — around 7 whole peanuts — has been associated with an over 90 percent reduction in peanut allergies. Dr. Erstein’s system follows these guidelines and has "maintenance packets," which are ready to blend in your child’s food until they are able to eat peanut butter or actual peanuts.
