Discussion Prompts
One of your relatives is terrified her new baby will develop food allergies because she herself has an allergy. Recently she told you she would not feed her child peanut butter until elementary school (5 years of age).
What would you want to share with her from the newest research on pediatric allergies?
Summarize some of the facts into a speech you might give to have her re-consider the delayed introduction of peanuts in her child.
