How can I manage a baby with multiple food allergies (CMPA, egg, and nuts)?
Managing multiple allergies requires a cautious, "slow and steady" approach under the guidance of a pediatric allergist. When reintroducing allergens or testing new foods, prioritize one at a time with a significant gap—often one month or more—to observe for reactions. Experts frequently suggest starting with baked versions of an allergen (like a tiny piece of a muffin containing egg) before moving to boiled or raw versions, and always in small, bite-sized portions rather than a full meal. If your child has a known history of severe reactions, seek a referral to a pediatric allergy specialist for formal testing and a structured, medically supervised introduction plan.
