Together with a pediatric allergist, we have developed a test to determine which product is most suitable for your baby.

For babies with an allergic predisposition and/or eczema, we offer a Starter Kit in 6/7 steps . The steps are slightly smaller and the build-up is a bit longer. For all other children, we offer the Starter Kit 3 steps .

We think it is important that as many parents as possible give allergens to their Mini early and often. That is why we have also put the schedules where parents can give this in steps with pasta or the allergen on our site.

Our products are:

- Healthy: contains no added salt or sugar

- Easy: high in protein, so you need to give less than, for example, peanut butter

- Reliable: measured quantity based on scientific research

Scientific research shows that your baby most often develops an allergy in the first year of life. If you have given your baby peanuts, eggs and nuts for the first time, it is very important that you continue to do this weekly to prevent your baby from developing an allergy.

My first peanut supplements can basically be stirred into any snack.

We are busy working on recipes to give you inspiration on how to use my first peanut products .

The recommended dosage for peanuts is two scoops of the enclosed measuring spoon weekly for a period of six months. For all nuts you should add 1.5 scoops weekly to your baby's meal. You can divide this dosage over several days of the week.

My first peanut products do not contain (traces of) other allergens. My first nuts products may contain traces of other nuts. We always recommend doing the Vini Mini test first and contacting your (family) doctor.

There is a difference between an acute reaction and a delayed reaction. Acute reaction here refers to an IgE-mediated reaction, in which a reaction of the immune system takes place. The symptoms occur immediately after eating (between 1 minute and 2 hours) and usually consist of skin reactions (particularly hives/nettle rash or swelling in the face), acute vomiting, red watery eyes and runny nose and wheezing when inhaling or exhaling. A delayed reaction: the next day or longer than 2 hours; are not signs of an IgE-mediated allergy, but are of course also very annoying. This usually manifests itself in a rash or abdominal pain/cramps.

In case of a reaction, immediately stop giving our products and contact your doctor.

We are busy with further product development and research for other allergens in collaboration with scientists and healthcare professionals. Sign up for our newsletter if we need to keep you informed about this.

Allergens are proteins that can cause allergic reactions. At Vini Mini we talk about food allergens.

In a food allergy, the immune system plays a role (immunological mechanism) and in food intolerance it does not. In addition, in food allergies, there is a difference between immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated and non-IgE-mediated. IgE-mediated reactions are characterized by the development of specific symptoms, normally within 1-2 hours after ingestion or exposure to the food allergen. A non-IgE-mediated reaction is characterized by a delayed reaction (24-48 hours) of the immune system after exposure to the food allergen. Intolerance is a collective term for reactions to food that are not allergic in nature. For example, lactose intolerance (milk sugar) and gluten intolerance (celiac disease). Complaints that occur here are often stomach and intestinal complaints. With early introduction of allergens, you can reduce the chance of an (IgE)-mediated allergy.

Early introduction reduces your baby's risk of developing food allergies by teaching your baby's immune system to tolerate a particular protein before he or she can develop a food allergy.

There have been several studies on early introduction of allergens and prevention of food allergy. The best known are the EAT , LEAP and PETIT studies.

The LEAP study found that avoiding peanuts versus consistently eating peanuts before age 1 could increase the likelihood that children would develop a peanut allergy. Of the children who avoided peanuts, 17% developed a peanut allergy by age 5. Of the children who ate peanuts at 3 or more meals per week, only 3% developed a peanut allergy by age 5.

The PETIT study investigated whether early introduction of eggs to infants with eczema would prevent egg allergy at age 1. The study found that introduction of boiled egg along with eczema treatment was effective in preventing egg allergy in high-risk infants.

Vini Mini was founded from a personal experience of Laurie, one of the founders, with her own son's allergy. We understand how annoying it is when your Mini is allergic and how exciting it is when there is a reaction. We also know how difficult it is to give allergens to your Mini in the right way. We want to help parents to do this in a healthy, easy and reliable way so that parents and their Mini have a healthy, happy and carefree start.

Our products are currently for sale via our webshop and a number of pharmacies, drugstores and dietician practices. We are busy making this possible via other channels as well. Send us an email if you also want to sell our products and ask for us at your consultation bureau.
