Weaning & allergy prevention
The two most powerful, evidence-based ways to reduce your child's risk of food allergy: the best possible eczema control, and timely introduction of common allergens.
Why early 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. Along with world leading Dietitians, we help families do this effectively and safely.
These interventions are safe, nutritious, satiating, and if commenced early enough, highly effective at preventing food allergy.
Eczema control comes first
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.
A 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.
