That may not sound new to some of you, particularly those who are breastfeeding advocates, but what I found really interesting is this:
The report also suggests there is insufficient evidence to support delaying the introduction of allergy related foods from the diets of high risk children. And there is isufficient evidence to support pregnant or nursing mothers restricting their diets in order to prevent their high risk child from getting an atopic disease.
This is against previous recommendations that parents of high-risk kids hold off giving cow's milk until one year old, and other foods such as fish and peanuts until after it was three years old. It seems that if a child will develop allergies, there's not much you can do dietary-wise to prevent it, aside from breastfeeding for the first four months, or using hydrolyzed formulas.
