This week I was interviewed on Ticker News about life threatening food allergy.
We spoke about the hot topic of food allergies and how Australia has amongst the highest rate of confirmed food allergies in the world.
Food allergy affects:
1-2% of adults
4-8% of children under 5
10% of children under 12 months
These are very sobering numbers.
How do we recognise and treat an allergic reaction?
Most importantly, what can we do to reduce these numbers?
Looking for more practical support?
If you’re looking for simple, evidence-based resources to help you navigate food allergies, introducing allergenic foods, egg ladders, baby first aid and child health, I’ve created a growing collection of practical guides, toolkits and AI planners for busy parents.
Every resource has been designed to save you time, reduce the mental load and help you feel more confident caring for your child.
