#130: Do you really need to have Benadryl on hand before introducing your baby to the Top 9 allergenic foods?
In this episode, I sit down with pediatrician Dr. Phil Boucher to talk about why he no longer recommends Benadryl for babies, what he suggests instead, and how to be prepared (without being afraid) when starting solid foods. You’ll learn what allergic reactions can look like, when to call your pediatrician, and how to introduce allergenic foods with confidence.
Listen to this episode to learn:
1. Why Dr. Phil Boucher no longer recommends Benadryl for babies and what he prefers parents have on hand instead when introducing allergenic foods.
2. How to recognize the difference between a mild allergic reaction, a contact rash, and signs of a more serious food allergy that require medical attention.
3. What you can do to feel prepared—not fearful—when introducing your baby to the Top 9 allergenic foods for the first time.
