Need more information!

As a mother of a small child with eczema and food allergies, I felt dismayed listening to this episode. I live in the UK and was not given the advice on this episode so didn't expose my baby to allergens when he was 4 months. I would really like more detailed information about what to do now my child has these allergies because specialists have told me I should totally avoid peanuts and the other things he's allergic to. I'm sure there are alot of parents beyond the point of prevention but would like to know more about how to reduce the issue. Please do a second interview if possible! Thank you!
