Peanut Allergy Prevention Strategy Is Nutritionally Safe

Introducing peanut-containing foods during infancy as a peanut allergy prevention strategy does not compromise the duration of breastfeeding or affect children’s growth and nutritional intakes, new findings show.

These findings are a secondary result from the NIAID-funded Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) clinical trial. The landmark LEAP study showed that early introduction of peanut-containing foods to infants at high risk for peanut allergy substantially reduced subsequent development of the allergy.
