In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Michael Pistiner, pediatric allergist at Mass General for Children, we focus on anaphylaxis management in young children and epinephrine use.

Dr. Pistiner walks us through which epinephrine devices are appropriate for infants and toddlers, and demonstrates the best techniques for administering them safely. He shares practical guidance for holding a squirming baby, minimizing fear, and building confidence in epinephrine.

-->We encourage you to watch what this looks like in action. You can find the video demonstration on my Instagram and Facebook pages @thefoodallergypsychologist or here:
