Doctors agree, all parents should do early introduction to reduce the risk of food allergies. The American Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, as well as the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology created a joint recommendation in 2020:
- Parents should introduce peanut to all infants, starting around 6 months of age, not before 4 months, at home, after the infant has eaten one or more starter foods.
- Parents should introduce well-cooked egg to all infants starting around 6 months of age, not before 4 months, at home, after the infant has eaten one or more starter foods.
