Episode 43: Food Allergies and Sensitivities in Babies and Toddlers with Dr. Trillitye Paullin

If you have ever had a baby with food allergies, chances are you experienced many challenges with feeding your baby. This week Rachael is joined by Dr. Trillitye Paullin, a molecular biologist and mother of two. Rachael and Dr. Trill discuss food allergies and sensitivities in babies and children.

Here’s what they discuss inside this informative episode:

• Dr. Trill’s personal experience with infant food allergies 
• Find out how proteins from breastmilk transfer to babies 
• The different types of formula available and the reasons WHY your baby may need a certain formula
• Guidance for parents on when and how to switch formula
• Looking for food reactions in your child
• The difference between food allergies and intolerance
• The symptoms of food reactions in toddlers and older children
• Whether or not your child may grow out of an allergy
• How to find support resources available for navigating feeding challenges 
• And so much more!

Dr. Trill Paullin is a molecular biologist and mother to two beautiful daughters who had severe infant food reactions to proteins transferred from her diet to breast milk. While struggling through elimination diets to continue breastfeeding, she discovered that many parents experience the same troubling situation. Dr. Trill wanted to create a place for parents to find answers to their questions about infant food reactivity and empower them to reach their feeding goals. Her online platform Free to Feed was born to provide the research, resources, and support she wished they had early on. They have started this mission by creating an educational support package, tracking app, personal consultations, and an allergy friendly postnatal multivitamin. Free to Feed’s team is working hard towards launching an at-home test kit that will allow parents to analyze their breast milk for allergens.
