The rates of food allergies is skyrocketing. Why? Who knows? Nobody knows yet. I feel like I am running in circles with the amount of articles that have come out lately on the cause.
We started our babies too early on food.
We started our babies too late on food.
We waited to feed our babies highly allergenic foods.
We started our babies too early on highly allergenic foods.
Our society is too clean.
Our food is too genetically modified.
It's genetic.
We breastfed.
We didn't breastfeed.
Did I miss anything?
Literally enough to make your head spin. So many of these articles make it seem as if the parent is to blame. We didn't do anything to make our child have life threatening food allergies. I have two children. I have raised them in exactly the same manner. One has allergies, the other does not. What explains that? Parents have enough weight on their shoulders without taking on the blame of food allergies too. We didn't cause it. What did?
