S2 Ep17: Feeding Without Fear: Weaning and Toddler Allergies Explained

Update: 2025-11-10

Description

Today’s episode we’re diving into allergies, something I know is such a huge subject for so many parents. We’ll discuss how to introduce solids in a way that reduces the risk of allergies developing, how to maintain tolerance once allergens are introduced, and what to do if a reaction happens. We’ll also explore living with allergies, practical tips for families, and the fascinating world of immunotherapy, what it is, how it works, and who it’s for. And I couldn't be more excited to be joined by the brilliant Dr Helen Evans-Howells, a GP and allergy specialist with over 15 years of experience supporting families through the often confusing and emotional world of allergies. A mum herself who has had to navigate allergies firsthand, so she brings not only her clinical expertise, but her real-life empathy to the conversation.
