The Allergen Playbook: Introducing the Top 9

The advice on this reversed completely, and a lot of families are still working from the old version. Avoiding allergens does not prevent allergy.

Inside

• The three risk levels, and which babies need a doctor before starting at home
• All nine allergens with a baby-safe form for each, including the sesame addition
• A seven-step introduction protocol, including how long to watch
• Mild and severe reaction signs, side by side
• Why keeping allergens in the diet matters as much as the first taste, with a workable weekly pattern
• A four-week introduction schedule you can follow or adapt

Who it is for

• Parents about to introduce peanut and egg who want the current guidance
• Families with eczema or allergy history who need to know whether to call first
• Anyone who introduced peanut once at seven months and never repeated it
