Did you know that 77% of peanut allergies could be prevented?
That's right. Early peanut introduction across all demographics - not just babies with risk factors of severe eczema or egg allergy - could prevent 77% of peanut allergies.

What Pediatric Clinicians Are Saying
"This course provided an easy to understand, yet informative format about the importance of introducing foods at an earlier age. Primary care providers in pediatrics are the first line when it comes to discussing feedings for infants. The course provides data points to help aid a provider when discussing this with parents."
Mindy, APRN, CPNP

More Reviews From Our Colleagues
"I truly enjoyed the feeding babies course! I feel more confident with discussing early allergies and food introduction with my patients and their families."
Amber, Pediatrician
"I am part of a very young practice. Most of our providers are < 40, and even half of our providers were not privy to the updated information regarding early food introduction. This information is so beneficial to our patients in regards to preventing allergy. Most of my patients are shocked when I discuss early incorporation of historically allergenic foods. We need to do a better job of disseminating this info."
Jackie, APRN, CPNP
"Great update from the world of allergy, perfect for the primary care provider AND parent!"
Christina, Pediatrician
