Preventing Food Allergies In Neonates

By Patricia Robinson


Babies respond differently to new foodstuff. While some are okay and feed normally, others develop rushes, itchiness, swelling among others when they consume certain content. Recently, cases of allergic responses among kids have been on the rise. Even with in-depth research, it has not been possible to come up with a specific drug to counter sensitivity. This may be due to reactions varying from one individual to another. This means if a baby reacts to eggs, another one may be affected by peanut oil. Fortunately, medical specialists list a number of factors for preventing food allergies in young ones. The below paragraphs explain a number of them.

First, mothers must ensure kids are three months or more before introducing solid matter. Even though doctors recommend exclusive breastfeeding for up to six months, this is usually not possible. However, since their digestive tracts are not fully formed, it is not advisable to introduce hard content immediately. Begin with porridge and gradually introduce protein substances as kids become hardy. Lack of proper digestion could contribute to reactivity as the body is unable to absorb certain nutrients.

Even as parents introduce foodstuff, breastfeeding should not stop. Notably, their bodies still require breast milk nutrients up to two years of age. From research, continued breastfeeding reduces risks of diet sensitivity since milk controls the roles of immune systems. Therefore, nutrients likely to cause reactions are neutralized.

Another proven factor is the reduced processed diet. With schedules becoming busier every day, most parents have resolved to purchase ready-made dietary. Overfeeding children with these substances increases their risk to reactions. Instead, feed them with fresh fruits and vegetables. Instead of cooking much food for refrigerating, parents should prepare enough for a particular moment. Similarly, fruits may be blended in small quantities to be taken within six hours of preparation.

Owing to the fact that children digestive tract is not fully developed, introducing new regimes within short spans of time increases their risk to sensitivity. Give yourself at least four days before bringing in new content. Similarly, let new diets be made of single content first. This way, parents can easily tell what is rejected by the body of their kids.

Most families with histories of allergic effects are likely to pass on to their babies. Having noted specific items commonly causing sensitivity, parents ought to avoid products with these content. However, since this may not always be the case, screening can be done first before eliminating a specific regimen. Notably, do not use peanut oil in an affected area since this only increases sensitivity.

It is better to gradually expose a child to every age-friendly consumable products right from a young age rather than wait until they are two or three years old. New research has proved that sensitivity developed and recognized at an early stage is easier to overcome than one recognized during later stages. Remarkably, breastfeeding help neutralizes reactive materials at an early age which is not possible when a child is above the breastfeeding stage.

Precisely, there is no cure for allergic responses in young ones. For this reason, parents must be keen to note what substances bring sensitivity hence remove them from new diets.
