«Breaking News» New allergy guidelines say it IS safe to give your babies peanuts, fish and milk a early as 4 months

Babies should be introduced to food like peanuts, fish and egg as early as four months old, US health experts say.  

The new relaxed guidelines, published on Monday, are the result of a 20-year change of heart among American pediatricians when it comes to allergenic ingredients.

In 2000, parents were told to save cow's milk until their child was one, egg until their child was two, and nuts and fish until the age of three - all in the hopes of preventing potentially deadly reactions. 

But 19 years later, experts say the earlier the better: more and more research suggests that earlier exposure could be just the thing to drive down the number of kids who react to foods.

In 2000, parents were told to save cow's milk until their child was one, egg until their child was two, and nuts and fish until the age of three. Today, advice is very different, confirmed by new guidelines

Introducing your child to ingredients that have a higher risk of reaction can be an unnerving experience for a parent - particularly as allergy rates rise in the US. 

In 2001, 5.3 percent of US adults had a diagnosed food allergy. That jumped to 6.5 percent in 2010, and again to 10.8 percent in 2016. 

Most of those (90 percent) are triggered by eight food groups: cow milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybean.

But there are another 170, more or less, reported to cause allergic reactions - and that list is growing.  

For example: Americans are increasingly allergic to sesame, an ingredient that has become more common in US supermarkets and homes in recent years thanks to a rise in taste for Middle Eastern food like hummus. 

So, for parents trying to mitigate their child's risk, the conundrum has become even more confusing in recent years due to a boom in research that can be overwhelming and sometimes conflicting. 

Since 2015, the American Academy of Pediatrics has endorsed 'early introduction' to peanuts for 'high-risk' children (i.e. those with a family history of allergy).

The new guidelines double down on that, saying there is no reason why any parent should delay exposure. 

'We know that some children are predisposed to allergies because of their family history,' said Frank Greer, MD, FAAP, co-author of the clinical report. 

'It's clear that sometimes nutrition can play a key role in preventing or minimizing allergies that can be concerning – or even deadly – for some children.'  

Co-author Dr Scott Sicherer, MD, added: 'There is no reason to delay giving your baby foods that are thought of as allergens like peanut products, eggs or fish.

'These foods can be added to the diet early, just like foods that are not common allergens, like rice, fruits or vegetables.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
