NIAID recommends giving peanuts early to reduce allergy risk

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States has produced new guidance that states that babies should be given peanuts early – even at four months old – in order to reduce the risk of allergy. The guidance also states that children with other allergies or severe eczema should start on peanut containing foods between four and six month old (with medical supervision). 

The full guidance document is available here.
