I personally suffer from food allergies. How can the risk of food allergies in a child be reduced?

To reduce the risk of food allergies in a child, it is important to introduce foods that commonly cause allergic reactions gradually, starting at around 6 months of age. For children at high risk of food allergies, this can be done a little earlier but after 4 months. It is recommended to introduce one food at a time and observe for any allergic reactions. Foods that commonly cause allergies include eggs, cow's milk, peanuts, nuts, sesame, wheat, fish, and soy. Testing for food allergies is generally not recommended right away, as it can sometimes give false positive results and limit the variety of foods that can be tested in the child. It is best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on managing food allergies in children.
