Nutritionist and Pediatrician: Are there practical ways to prevent food allergies during infancy?

Parents have many stressors and fears when starting solids: the mess, what to give, how to give it, schedules, gagging and choking, and allergies. The fear of allergies can make parents AVOID giving allergenic foods when that can actually be more of a detriment. I welcome Malina Malkani who is pediatric registered dietitian, mom of three, and author of the new book Safe and Simple Food Allergy prevention
We discuss:
Parental fears surrounding food allergies and how to overcome this
How we can reduce the risk of food allergies in babies
What it means to introduce allergenic foods early, often, and consistently
