Timing of introduction of allergenic solids for infants at high risk

ASEM documentary overview

Official Canadian Paediatric Society document (2019) on “Timing of introduction of allergenic solids for infants at high risk”. Food allergy affects an estimated 2% to 10% of the population, with evidence of increasing prevalence over time. Preventing food allergy has become an important public health goal. Health Canada currently recommends breastfeeding infants exclusively until they are 6 months old, while acknowledging that in individual practice, signs of infant readiness may guide the introduction of complementary foods a few weeks earl.
