Pathway Contributor: Kate Grimshaw

Contributions:

• Among healthy term infants at low risk of developing food allergy, does delaying the introduction of common allergenic foods (cow's milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, soy, seafood) until after six months of age or later, decrease the risk of developing food allergies?  

  Role: Author

• Among healthy term infants under the age of six months of age without parental history of allergy, does feeding cow's milk-based infant formula increase the risk of developing food allergies compared to feeding breastmilk?  

  Role: Author

• Among preterm infants under the age of six months (adjusted) without parental history of allergy, does feeding cow's milk-based infant formula increase the risk of developing food allergy compared to breastmilk (with or without fortification)?  

  Role: Author

• Among low birth weight infants without parental history of allergy, does feeding cow's milk-based infant formula when compared to exclusive breastfeeding increase the risk of developing allergic disease?  

  Role: Author

• Among infants under the age of six months of age without parental history of allergy, does feeding a hydrolysate formula decrease the risk of developing allergic disease as compared to feeding a cow's milk-based infant formula?  

  Role: Author

• Among infants under the age of six months, without parental history of allergy, does feeding soy protein-based infant formula decrease the risk of developing allergic disease compared to feeding breastmilk or cow's milk-based infant formula?
