I don't remember exactly, but I suspect that the introduction and then disappearance was worse than not introducing it at all until we could do it consistently. It was probably something like six weeks between giving up on peanut butter in her milk and starting her on solid food.
- onli 1y agoI'm not aware of a recommendation to give peanuts/other possible allergens that regularly, at least I'm certain that's not a thing where I live. The change was that peanuts before were avoided completely for years, and now they are added when it fits, like a peanut butter toast once in a while. Outside of the desensitization therapy you go through now, you do not give like two peanuts every day or put it in milk regularly. You just test for allergic reaction early and then stop thinking about it, that's the change. So you did nothing wrong. The six week pause was completely meaningless.
- logifail 1y ago> I suspect that the introduction and then disappearance was worse than not introducing it at all I'm not convinced that we understand the human immune system quite that well. Speaking as someone with three kids and (sadly) quite the handful of apparently inherited medical conditions in the family. As it stands we have: * coeliac (me, plus two of the three kids... and the third kid already tested positive on the coeliac genetic test) * childhood asthma (me, plus one of the three kids) * severe allergies (me, plus two of the three kids) No nut allergies, so far. We're still counting :/
