Early Food Exposure & Allergies: What the Research Says

The answer is: it depends

Early exposure to certain foods has been shown to reduce the risk of developing food allergies in some cases, while in others, it may increase the risk. It depends on the individual and the specific food. For example, early exposure to peanuts has been shown to reduce the risk of peanut allergy, while early exposure to cow's milk may increase the risk of milk allergy.
