Early peanut introduction reduces allergy risk by 43%, per new Pediatrics study.
A new study in Pediatrics finds that introducing peanuts to infants between 4 and 11 months old reduces peanut allergy risk by 43%, supporting updated guidelines that recommend early allergen exposure.
The decline follows changes in recommendations after the 2015 LEAP study and 2017 addendum, which encouraged introducing peanuts as early as 4 to 6 months, even for low- and moderate-risk infants.
As a result, peanut allergy rates dropped significantly among children under three, while egg allergy became the most common food allergy.
The findings highlight the effectiveness of early introduction in building immune tolerance and preventing severe reactions, though challenges remain in consistent implementation across pediatric care.
