Kids With Food Allergies (KFA), a division of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, hosted a free educational webinar, “Can Parents Prevent Their Babies From Developing Food Allergies,” on January 13, 2015. It featured pediatric allergist Todd Green, MD, FAAAI.
Dr. Green covered issues such as:
- Should pregnant women avoid certain foods during pregnancy?
- How do you know if an infant is at high-risk of developing food allergies?
- When and how should you introduce solid foods to a high-risk infant?
- What formulas are recommended for infants who are not breastfed?
- When should you see an allergist?
- Why have the food/diet recommendations changed?
- Can food allergies be prevented?
- Why food allergies shouldn't be blamed on mothers
