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
