60k kids have avoided peanut allergies due to 2015 advice, study finds

In my experience there’s still much more to this. I’m sure it helps at population level like the article describes but it’s not foolproof. For our first we were feeding nuts early and still developed an allergy to all nuts. Our second didn’t get nuts until much later and he’s fine. There’s more to the story than timing, notably my first has eczema and asthma too so there’s that atopic march.

Allergy rate decreases with birth order. Of course, that's at the population level and probably not strong enough effect to notice if you only poll a dozen parents you know.

As the 3rd child that had more allergies than I can really make sense of, I'm curious on this. Any recommended studies to read up on this?

Did you medicate for reflux?

Eczema often comes with digestive issues, bowl inflammation, loose stool, blood in the stool etc.

Eczema essentially gives you wounds, if you allow allergens to enter the bloodstream directly without going through the digestive tract you are at an increased risk of developing allergies.

For kids/babies with these kind of issues it's probably better to delay introducing common allergens until their gut can heal or you will end up causing allergies rather than preventing them.
