What infant feeding formulas contribute to risk reduction for allergic diseases, including food allergy and eczema, among infants at high risk for allergy?
Role: Reviewer
Does a history of maternal allergy predict a higher risk for the development of allergy in an infant as compared to a paternal history of allergy?
Do infants with a parental history of allergy have a reduced incidence of allergy if their mothers avoid common allergenic foods during pregnancy as compared to infants of mothers who do not restrict their diets during pregnancy?
Do infants and children with a parental history of allergy who are exclusively breastfed and whose mothers avoid common allergenic foods during breastfeeding have a reduced incidence of allergy as compared to infants whose mothers do not restrict their diets?
Among term infants and children, with parental history of allergy, does exclusive breastfeeding for three to four months or more reduce the incidence of allergy?
Among term infants and children, with a parental history of allergy, does exclusive breastfeeding for six months reduce the incidence of allergy?
Among term infants and children, with a parental history of allergy, does duration of partial breastfeeding influence the incidence of allergy?
Among infants with parental history of allergy, does delaying the introduction of common allergenic foods until after four months of age decrease the incidence of allergy?
Among infants with parental history of allergy, does a combination of maternal avoidance of common allergenic foods during breastfeeding, infant feeding with hydrolysed formula, delayed introduction of common allergenic foods and a house dust mite reduction program decrease the incidence of allergy as compared to infant-mother pairs who do not adhere to these interventions?
