Caregiver and expecting caregiver support for early peanut introduction guidelines
Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Mar 23, 2018
Greenhawt M, et al. - Recent guidelines recommend early peanut introduction (EPI) beginning around 4-6 months in infants with either severe eczema and/or egg allergy, and around 6 months for all other infants. Herein, caregiver preferences for such practices were explored. Poor current willingness and questionable support for early allergenic solid food recommendations, including in-office allergy risk assessment (IRA) before introduction, was observed among new and expecting caregivers. Compared with current caregivers, a better willingness was observed among expecting caregivers. Overall, a need was realized for broader formal implementation planning to facilitate early allergen introduction and maximize its preventive benefits.
