LEAPs & Bounds
The Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) Study led by Mission MightyMe Co-Founder Dr. Gideon Lack, found that regularly feeding peanut-containing foods to babies starting as early as 4-11 months until age 5, reduced their likelihood of developing a peanut allergy by more than 80%.
Based on this research, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the NIH have issued new medical guidelines recommending early peanut introduction, based on risk factors, to help prevent peanut allergies from developing.
“The results of the LEAP study were clear: peanut allergy prevention is possible in the majority of children. I encourage parents to be proactive. Talk with your pediatrician about including peanut protein in your infant’s diet.”
