Enquiring About Tolerance (EAT) study – feasibility of early introduction of allergenic foods and impact on breastfeeding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method 1,303 exclusively breastfeeding (EBF) infants were recruited to the EAT Study at 3 months of age and randomized to either EBF until around 6 months of age (Standard Introduction Group SIG) or early introduction of 6 allergenic foods (cow’s milk, egg, fish, wheat, sesame and peanut) alongside breastfeeding (Early Introduction Group EIG). Data from the UK 2010 Infant Feeding Survey (IFS) was used to compare EAT Study data to UK population data.

The conventional wisdom is that early exposure to allergenic food proteins during pregnancy, lactation, or infancy leads to food allergies, and that prevention strategies should therefore aim to eliminate allergenic food proteins during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and early childhood. Prolonged exclusive breastfeeding and delayed weaning onto solid foods is therefore seen as an effective public h...
متن کاملInfant food allergy: where are we now?
For many years, the prevailing maxim for prevention of food allergy in at-risk infants was to reduce allergic sensitization by avoiding exposure to highly allergenic foods until the baby's immune and digestive systems were sufficiently developed to cope with the allergen. Current thinking is completely different: exposure to food in the early stages of development may be the way to induce toler...
