  Did you know that up to 86% of peanut allergies can be prevented? But this can only happen if every new parent knows about and introduces peanut foods early to their infant. […] Fortunately, food allergy experts and others who care for children now agree that feeding small amounts of peanut foods to infants at the right stage of their development typically around 4-6 months of age can have life-changing effects. […] These recommendations are rooted in the groundbreaking LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut) Study, in which early introduction reduced development of a peanut allergy by up to 86%. […] New guidelines encourage parents to introduce baby-friendly peanut foods depending on each child’s risk for allergies. Peanut foods should be introduced according to these guidelines after they’ve already started other solid foods.

  Although it was once believed that children should not consume peanuts early in life, a United Kingdom randomized trial in infants 4 to 11 months of age at high risk of developing peanut allergies found that early consumption of peanuts reduced the risk of developing peanut allergy by age 5 years by 80% (absolute risk reduction=14%, NNT=7). […] In 2021, a consensus document on the primary prevention of food allergy from three North American professional allergy societies recommended introducing peanut-containing products to all infants around 6 months of age, regardless of their risk of developing peanut allergy. […] A similar change to infant feeding guidelines in Australia occurred in 2016, recommending that all infants be introduced to peanuts before age 12 months. […] The challenge of identifying children at increased risk for peanut allergy and the inherently artificial nature of previous guidance restricting what an infant would otherwise naturally eat make this a reasonable course of action in the face of imperfect evidence.

  https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/how-to-prevent-food-allergies-in-kids

  For many years, the standard advice given to all parents about food allergies was to avoid introducing peanuts to young children’s diets. […] Much of this advice, which was based on expert opinion rather than convincing data, has since changed, starting in 2015 when the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that the early introduction and regular feeding of peanuts could prevent the development of a peanut allergy in infants considered high risk. […] As a result, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) changed its recommendations, saying there is no reason for parents to delay giving their babies foods that are potential allergens, including peanut products. […] In 2017, guidelines from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases went a step further, encouraging early introduction of peanuts to high-risk infants.

  NIH study confirms there is a long-term protective effect to early and regular peanut consumption. The new study results provide conclusive evidence that starting babies on peanut foods early and keeping them in the diet regularly until age five, achieves long-term peanut allergy prevention through adolescence, even without continued consumption of peanuts beyond five years of age. The LEAP-Trio study takes the research a step further, following the original LEAP participants until age 12 and older. The Study found that children who consumed peanuts early and regularly for the first five years of life, had a 71% reduction in peanut allergies in adolescence compared to the avoidance group, even if peanut foods were avoided after age five. There is a long-term protective effect to early and regular peanut consumption. In order to prevent peanut allergy, young babies as early as four months of age, should be given peanuts in the form of peanut puffs or peanut butter regularly and frequently (at least three times a week) over the first 4 to 5 years of life. The evidence is clear that early introduction of peanut in infancy induces long term tolerance and protects children from allergy well into adolescence.

  Finally we may have an answer, and it is the simplest answer of all: eating peanuts. Not actual peanuts—they are a serious choking hazard—but things made from peanuts, like peanut butter. […] The AAP endorsed those guidelines, and in a new clinical report underlines their importance. […] For the first group, those with severe eczema and/or egg allergy, testing for peanut allergy is recommended and parents should talk with their doctors about how and when to give peanut products. […] If testing shows an allergy, it may be a good idea to do that first taste of peanut product in the doctor’s office. Parents of babies in this group should talk to their doctor early, like at the 2- or 4-month checkup, because the recommendation is that these babies should get peanut products between 4 and 6 months.

[…] Previous work by the same researchers found that regular consumption of peanut products from infancy reduced the risk of peanut allergy at age five by 81%, compared with children who avoided peanuts for the same period. […] The trial found that children in the early peanut consumption group had a 71% lower risk of peanut allergy compared with those in the peanut avoidance group. […] Lack said there was a double advantage to starting children on peanut products early. You will prevent the vast majority of peanut allergy, but for those cases where you aren’t able to prevent it, you can identify the children earlier when treating them is much easier, he said. […] The researchers said peanut butter or peanut puffs could be given to children who were still breastfeeding once they were able to manage soft foods. […] The aim should be to give the equivalent of a heaped teaspoon of peanut butter three times a week.

  We now know there is a very good likelihood of reducing the risk of allergy if we give specific, early instructions for these foods, especially for those at high risk for a food allergy. […] The top food allergens for infants are milk, eggs, and peanuts, adds Dr. Leeds. […] Children who are considered at highest risk for food allergies are those with severe eczema, especially early-onset eczema. […] And because the skin is damaged, food allergens, such as those from peanuts, can easily make their way through the skin and to the immune system, potentially triggering the production of allergic antibodies responsible for an allergic response. […] When a patient comes to the Pediatric Food Allergy Prevention Program, the physician and dietitian first ask questions about medical and family history to gauge the child’s risk.

The guidelines recommend introduction of peanut-containing foods as early as 4-6 months for high-risk infants who have already started solid foods, after determining that it is safe to do so. […] “If your child is determined to be high risk, the new guidelines recommend evaluation by an allergy specialist, which may involve peanut allergy testing, followed by trying peanut for the first time in the specialist’s office,” says allergist Matthew Greenhawt, MD, MBA, MSc, ACAAI Food Allergy Committee chair, and a co-author of the guidelines. “If a child is tested and found to have peanut sensitization, meaning they have a positive allergy test to peanut, from that positive test alone we still don’t know if they’re truly allergic. Peanut allergy is only diagnosed if there is both a positive test and a history of developing symptoms after eating peanut-containing foods.”

  A positive test alone is a poor indicator of allergy, and studies have shown infants who have a peanut sensitivity aren’t necessarily allergic. “In fact in the LEAP study, infants sensitized to peanuts showed the most benefit from early introduction of peanut-containing foods,” says Dr. Greenhawt. The updated guidelines recommend that Infants with a positive peanut skin test have peanut fed to them the first time in the specialist’s office. Some infants may have a large reaction to the skin test (8 mm or larger) which could indicate they are already peanut allergic. “An allergist may decide not to have the child try peanut at all if they have a very large reaction to the skin test. Instead, they might advise that the child avoid peanuts completely due to the strong chance of a pre-existing peanut allergy. Other allergists may still proceed with a peanut challenge after explaining the risks and benefits to the parents.”

  Food Allergy Guidelines Updated to Include Prevention of Peanut Allergy. Based on findings from the LEAP trial, the updated guidelines provide advice for preventing peanut allergy in infants at different risk levels. The NIAID updated the guidelines to include prevention of peanut allergy. Infants with severe eczema or egg allergy should undergo peanut specific IgE (sIgE) measurement, skin prick testing (SPT), or both prior to introduction of peanut at ages 4 to 6 months. Infants with mild-to-moderate eczema should start peanut-containing foods around age 6 months and may do so at home. Infants with no eczema or food allergy may start age-appropriate peanut-containing foods when desired. If peanut is introduced, the child should regularly consume 6 to 7 g of peanut protein weekly over 3 or more feedings. These guidelines offer concrete suggestions on the introduction of peanut in infants.

  While the authors of the above recommendations agree that early introduction of peanuts may be beneficial in reducing the risk of peanut allergy, there is some disagreement about whether allergy tests should be performed in high-risk infants before their first peanut consumption. […] Most guidelines do not suggest obligatory allergic screening of infants. […] Until recently, the strategy of eliminating the allergen from the diet was the only treatment for peanut allergy. However, the outcomes of the LEAP and EAT studies revolutionised the approach to food allergy prevention, although only one-third of parents express a willingness to introduce peanuts into the diet of their children at an early age. In individuals whose peanut allergy has not been prevented, specific oral immunotherapy may be used. This method allows patients to develop desensitisation and, in some cases, tolerance to peanuts.
