It's maddening how much advice given to parents throughout the years has not just been a bit lame, it's been actively harmful.

Example: Food allergies.

For years, parents have been warned not to feed babies peanuts and such things until they were 3 years old. And only milk/formula until 6 months old.

When they finally get around to doing randomized trials, it turns out the best way to PREVENT food allergies is to feed babies exciting things at 4 months.

4 months!

Maddening. #dadtoot
