Early Introduction and Sustained Ingestion (EISI) Using Two Educational Opportunities in Infants
Sponsor: Stanford University
Summary
The objective of the study is to see whether early feeding of potentially allergic foods can be increased with educational materials alone or with educational materials and additional in-person support opportunities. This study will help guide what types of support pediatricians and allergists give to new parents.

Interventions
Education and Opportunities on Early Introduction
The participant will receive and review three educational modules on the basics of food allergy, food allergy reactions, food allergen introduction, feeding safety and readiness, fiber, fermented food, ultra processed foods, diet diversity, and advancing food textures in the infant diet. The educational sessions will take approximately one hour to review every month for three months.
Clinician Supervised Feeding of Known Allergenic Food
Clinician supervised feeding introduction of a known allergenic food (hen's egg, cow's milk, peanut, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fin fish, shellfish, and sesame) to the infant at least one time during the 6 month enrollment. The feeding is required for the intervention group and optional for the standard-of-care (SOC) group. Participants in the SOC group who do not introduce any known allergenic foods at home into the infant's diet by the end of 3 months enrollment will be required to return to the clinic for a clinician supervised feeding of a known allergenic food of their choice. The clinic feeding will last approximately 1 hour.
