#468: Should you drive to your local hospital and sit outside the emergency department when you offer your baby a potentially allergenic food in case they have a food allergy reaction? Pediatric allergist Dr. David Stukus is here to talk about oral food challenges and introducing new foods to your baby at home vs. in the doctor’s office.

Listen to this episode to learn:

1. What to do if your baby has an allergic reaction to a food…or just a non-allergic topical rash


2. Which subset of children may benefit from oral food challenges done in a supervised environment


3. How to get prepared to offer your baby an allergenic food…even if you’re terrified to do so
