Mayo es el mes de concientización sobre las alergias alimentarias. 🗓️ Es el momento ideal para conocer más sobre las alergias alimentarias en bebés y niños pequeños y cómo abordarlas en la vida cotidiana. Una alergia alimentaria ocurre cuando el sistema inmunitario reacciona de forma exagerada a una proteína específica de un alimento, denominada alérgeno, y la considera una amenaza. Esto puede desencadenar síntomas que van desde leves hasta graves, lo que se conoce como una “reacción alérgica”. 🍞🥛🥜

Para obtener más información, visite https://fampitfamily.org/es/, un sitio web que ofrece recursos para que las familias puedan afrontar los primeros años de las alergias alimentarias con confianza y tranquilidad.

May is Food Allergy Awareness Month 🗓️ It’s the perfect time to learn about food allergies in babies and toddlers and how to manage them in everyday life! A food allergy happens when the immune system overreacts to a specific protein (an allergen) in a food, treating it like a threat. This can trigger symptoms ranging from mild to severe, also known as an “allergic reaction.” 🍞🥛🥜

To learn more, visit www.fampitfamily.org, a website with resources to help families navigate the early years of food allergies with confidence and ease!

🫛 Peas are the WIC-approved food of the month! Peas are packed with health benefits, and they’re a highly versatile kitchen staple that can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, roasted, or pan-fried 💪

Peas are packed with antioxidants that help build your immune system. They also contain carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which can protect your eyes from chronic diseases! 👀 Peas are also a great source of protein and fiber, helping your body break down carbohydrates and manage your blood sugar! 🌟

This month, try incorporating peas in your family's diet. You can even experiment with different methods of cooking them. Let us know your favorite way! 💭
