Babies should be givenpeanut early - some at four months old - in order to reduce the risk of allergy(过敏), according to new US guidance.
Studies have shown the riskof peanut allergy can be cut by more than 80% by early exposure(接触). The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases saidthe new guidance was "an important step forward".
However, young childrenshould not eat whole peanuts, because of the risk of choking.
Allergy levels aresoaring in the US and have more than quadrupled since 2008. It is a patternreplicated across much of the Western world as well as parts of Asia andAfrica. Parents are often wary about introducing peanut and in the past havebeen advised to wait until the child is three years old.
According to the newguidelines, children with other allergies or severe eczema should start onpeanut-containing foods at between four and six months old, with medicalsupervision(监管). Babies with mild eczema(湿疹) should have peanut-containing food at aboutsix months old. Those with no eczema or allergies can have peanut-containingfood freely introduced.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, thedirector of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said:"We expect that widespread implementation of these guidelines byhealthcare providers will prevent the development of peanut allergy in manysusceptible(易受感染的)children and ultimately reduce the prevalence of peanut allergy in the UnitedStates."
Michael Walker, a member ofthe European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, said: "Theguidelines are based on sound medical research carried out in the UK. UKparents should consult their GP, bringing attention to the guidelines ifnecessary, before attempting peanut allergy prevention in their infantthemselves."
Professor Alan Boobis, fromImperial College London, said: "The previous(之前的) view that delaying(延迟) the introduction ofallergenic foods decreases the risk of food allergy is incorrect and... ifanything, the exclusion(除去) or delayed introduction ofspecific allergenic foods may increase the risk of allergy to the same foods,including peanut."

I was born at Blunderstone, in Suffolk, in the east ofEngland, and was given my poor father’s name, David Copperfield. Sadly, henever saw me and died six months before I was born. My early childhood wasextremely happy, as my beautiful mother and kind Peggotty took care of me. Butwhen I was about eight, a shadow passed over my happiness. My mother often wentout walking, in her best clothes, with a gentleman called Mr Murdstone. Heseemed to be very fond of my mother. But I knew that Peggotty did not like him.
A few months later Peggotty told me that my mother was going tohave a short holiday with some friends. Meanwhile Peggotty and I would go tostay with her brother Daniel in Yarmouth, on the east coast, for two weeks. Ispent a wonderfully happy two weeks there, playing all day on the beach withEmily and sleeping in my own little bed on the ship. I am sure I was in lovewith little Emily in my childish way, and I cried bitterly when we had to saygoodbye at the end of the holiday.
But on the way home to Blunderstone, Peggotty looked at me veryworriedly. She said suddenly in a trembling voice. “I must tell you—While we’vebeen away, your dear mother—has married Mr Murdstone! He’s your stepfathernow!”
I was deeply shocked. 1could not understand how my mother couldhave married that man. And when we arrived home, I went straight to my room andlay sobbing on my bed, which made my poor mother very unhappy too. As she satbeside me, holding my hand, Mr Murdstone suddenly came in.
“What’s this, Chara, my love?” he asked sternly. “Remember,you must be firm with the boy! I’ve told you before, you’re too weak with him!” And when mother left the room, Mr. Murdstone whispered angrily to me.“David, do you know what I’ll do if you don’t obey me? I’ll beat you like adog!”I was still very young, and I was very frightened of him. If he hadsaid one kind word to me, perhaps I would have liked and trusted him. and mylife would have been different.
