The findings can offer some reassurance to parents who may still be uncertain about when to introduce potentially allergenic foods to their babies.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cTo our knowledge, this is the first study to show a population-level reduction in egg allergy after the introduction of new infant feeding guidelines,\u201d Koplin said.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Cracking the allergy puzzle\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            In the United States, recommendations for preventing food allergies among children have evolved dramatically over the past few decades, leaving some parents wondering which guidance to trust and whether following the latest advice is truly safe.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised that infants at high risk for allergies, including those with eczema or a family history of food allergies, avoid eggs until age 2. The thinking at the time was that delaying exposure might help prevent allergic reactions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But as more evidence emerged, that guidance began to change. In 2008, the AAP updated its guidance to support introducing eggs by 6 months of age, citing that there is \u201clittle evidence\u201d that delaying the introduction of allergenic foods prevented allergies.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Research increasingly supported that change: introducing eggs earlier appeared to reduce the risk of developing an egg allergy.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Full Length Of Cute Boy And Dog At Home\" class=\"wp-image-2083\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5cf859e9e6854d73323ec2f8f0271c0a.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Full Length Of Cute Boy And Dog At Home<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Paulo Sousa\/EyeEm\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Pet cats and dogs may help protect infants from food allergies, study suggests<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>3  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Globally, allergy prevention guidelines also had been updated.

Given this, we would expect a similar reduction in egg allergy in the US,\u201d Koplin said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the researchers also noted that, in the US, rates of timely egg introduction remained relatively low compared with Australia \u2013 with only 15.5% of infants in the US introduced to egg before 7 months of age in 2021 compared with 57% in the study\u2019s 2018-2019 group, after guidance had changed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Egg allergy has become one of the most prominent allergies in children. In the US, it\u2019s estimated to affect about 1.3% of children under age 5. By age 16, most children tend to outgrow their egg allergy and by adulthood, the allergy is less common.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In people with egg allergy, the immune system overreacts to proteins found in egg whites or egg yolks. This can cause serious allergic symptoms, including hives, respiratory symptoms and sometimes, anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that can involve tightening of airways.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related vertical video\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"119922_TicksTirrell_VRTC_Thumbnail_CLEAN.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2087\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/46606668e64ed26d93205af64bf3181d.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>CNN<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Tickborne food allergy surging on Martha\u2019s Vineyard<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Early introduction is helpful to reduce the risk of allergy because, \u201cthe body\u2019s immune system is at the root of allergy,\u201d Dr. Scott Sicherer, professor of pediatrics and director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, said in an email.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe immune system is ready to learn about foods in a helpful and normal way when the food is eaten and enters the gut. In that context, the immune system typically learns to recognize and intelligently accept the food. But if the gut immune system is not seeing the food, it is not learning,\u201d Sicherer said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAt the same time, if the food is around the baby it is a part of the environment, and may be touching baby skin and in the air being inhaled. Exposure to the skin or by inhalation could trick the immune system to think the food is an invader to be attacked,\u201d he said. \u201cIn particular, babies with eczema have a poor skin barrier and skin inflammation, and so if they are not eating the food early, their skin immune cells may be especially ready to see that food in the wrong way.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        How to introduce babies to eggs\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The new study\u2019s finding that more people introduced egg to their baby by six months after the guidance changed reveals how updated guidelines can \u201ctruly have an impact,\u201d said Dr. Elizabeth Lippner, an attending physician in the division of allergy and immunology at Lurie\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital of Chicago, who was not involved in the study.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHopefully this is a sign that similarly in our country, and populations that I treat, people will also listen to these recommendations and follow these trends, and we certainly are seeing that in our clinics,\u201d Lippner said about the United States.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cheese.
