•For infants deemed a high risk for developing a peanut allergy, based on eczema or egg allergies, experts suggest feeding them food with peanuts as early as four to six months old.

•Infants with mild to moderate eczema should be introduced to peanuts at six months old.

•For babies without eczema or egg allergies, researchers say parents can start giving them peanut foods when they see fit.

They researched and proved that peanut allergies can be prevented by feeding children with peanut foods that contain the legume as young as early infancy. The NIAID said peanut allergies are a growing health problem with no treatment or cure. It usually develops in childhood and remains into the adult years. The new rules follow scientific research that showed introducing foods with peanuts during infancy can prevent future allergies.
