What do I do if My Baby Has an Allergic Reaction? with Ron Sunog, MD

#58: What should you do if your baby has an allergic reaction to food? In this episode, pediatrician and food allergy expert Dr. Ron Sunog shares clear, practical guidance for parents navigating allergenic food introduction. You’ll learn the signs to watch for of true food allergy vs. a run-of-the-mill contact rash, how to be prepared for allergic reactions (...no, you don’t need to park in the emergency department driveway to introduce your baby to peanut!), and how to get past your fear of allergic reactions so you can safely offer your baby allergenic foods early and often (since it’s the only way you can help lower your baby’s risk of food allergy down the road!) Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Which foods babies are most likely to have allergic reactions to...and what we should be on the lookout for to identify a potential allergic reaction to a new food 2. Why some food reactions go away on their own and which ones require intervention (...and how to know the difference) 3. What risk factors put your baby at high risk for food allergy and what you can do at home to lower your baby’s food allergy risk Shownotes for this episode can be found here: ⁠https://www.babyledweaning.co/podcast/58 Links from this episode: • Read Dr. Sunog’s Book EAT THE EIGHT BOOK: Preventing Food Allergy with Food & the Imperfect Art of Medicine available on Amazon here • Get 15% off Puffworks Baby Peanut and Almond baby puffs for trying peanut and tree nut protein with the code BLWPOD when you shop here • Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro program with the 100 First Foods™ Daily Meal Plan, join here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/program⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  • Baby-Led Weaning for Beginners free online workshop with 100 First Foods™ list to all attendees, register here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://babyledweaning.co/baby-led-weaning-for-beginners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Other episodes related to this topic: • Episode 11 - How to Introduce Allergenic Foods to Your Baby • Episode 380 - Why Doctors STILL Aren't Talking About Introducing Allergenic Foods with Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH • Episode 468 - Oral Food Challenges: Try Allergenic Foods at Home vs. the Doctor's Office? with @allergykidsdoc David Stukus, MD 🌱 🌱🌱🌱 🌱 Not sure about which foods to offer your baby next?
