The following steps can help reduce the risk of emerging food allergies in infants and young children, especially those with family history of allergies:

- Do not include solid foods until 6 months.
- Breastfeed babies until they are 1 year minimum. However, you also need to avoid highly allergenic foods since allergens can be transmitted through breast milk. If breastfeeding is not possible, talk to your doctor about choosing a type of milk.
- Incorporate new foods in small portions and one to one. Control reactions for several days before entering a new food. Do not add foods that commonly cause allergies such as wheat, egg or fish until the second year of life.
- Wait before giving cow’s milk to a child until 1 year and peanuts (groundnuts) to 3 years.

For older children who have had allergies, the best way to avoid an allergic reaction is to not include food or foods that cause a reaction. Here are some steps to follow:

- Read food labels (the new labeling laws have facilitated this) and ask when eating at restaurants. If your child has a milk allergy, for example, avoid foods with ingredients that include casein, caseinate, whey protein or milk solids. And some foods, but do not contain peanuts (groundnuts), are produced on machines that also produce foods with peanuts (groundnuts), making them dangerous for people with allergies.
- Teach your child about what foods to avoid and why to avoid them.
- Inform all adults who have contact with your child about the allergy and what to do in an emergency.
- Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- If your child has a history of severe reactions to certain foods, you and he should carry epinephrine at all times and use it at the first sign of an allergic reaction. Generally, epinephrine is given with an Epipen, ask your doctor several (so you can put one in all the places your hijovaya often to be safe) and make sure that everyone who cares for your child knows how to use it.
- Tell the school or daycare center your child to be informed of the allergy. For example, even small amounts of peanut butter (peanuts) in a lunch can be dangerous. Many schools have classes and lunch with diets that do not contain peanuts (groundnuts).
