Nip Allergies in the Bub launch – 27 August 2018

The National Allergy Strategy Food Allergy Prevention Project “Nip Allergies in the Bub” was launched in Western Australia yesterday.

The project will be piloted for a year, before it is launched throughout Australia.

It is the first project in the world to promote feeding children the common allergy causing foods by one year of age, to help prevent food allergy from developing. 

The website www.preventallergies.org.au contains practical information for parents and carers about introducing foods and managing eczema for allergy prevention. 

It also includes information and resources for health professionals.
