We found that nearly all children were exposed to allergens by one year, regardless of SMS messaging, suggesting Australian caregivers were already aware of the importance of early allergen introduction. Some parents were concerned about early adverse reactions to food, highlighting the need for timely advice to prevent unnecessary dietary restrictions.en© 2021 EAACI and John Wiley and Sons A/S.
