Weaning & allergy prevention

Why early safe food introduction matters

Our landmark research has shown that introducing common allergens such as peanut and egg early and regularly, rather than delaying them, can substantially reduce the chance of developing an allergy. We will apply these research principles to your weaning regimen; along with world leading Dietitians, Rosan Meyer and Carina Veneter, we help families to do this effectively and safely.

These supervised interventions are safe, nutritious, satiating, and if commenced early enough, highly effective at preventing food allergy.

More recent evidence suggests maternal diet during pregnancy is less important at preventing (or causing) food allergies.

Eczema control is also very important

Severe, weeping or staph-infected eczema - particularly on exposed skin - is strongly associated with the development of food allergy. Early, pro-active skin treatment is one of the most important steps you can take. We have shown this in our recent publications.

A bespoke dietary plan tailored to your child

We provide bespoke weaning guidance that takes account of your child's eczema, any existing allergies, and family history - so introduction is both safe and effective. We will offer allergens in recipes that are safe for infants to swallow.

Many societities and dietary recommendations now support the above approach throughout the world.
