Contributions:

• What infant feeding formulas contribute to risk reduction for allergic diseases, including food allergy and eczema, among infants at high risk for allergy?  

  Role: Author

• 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?  

  Role: Author

• 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?  

  Role: Author

• Does a history of maternal atopy predict a higher risk for the development of allergy in infants and children as compared to a paternal history of atopy?  

  Role: Author

• Among infants with parental history of allergy, does a combination of maternal avoidance of common allergenic foods during breastfeeding, infant feeding with hydrolyzed 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?  

  Role: Author

• Does the early introduction of common allergenic complementary foods in an infant’s diet decrease the risk of food allergy?  

  Role: Author

• Among term infants and children with a parental history of allergy, does breastfeeding reduce the incidence of allergy?  

  Role: Author

• Among healthy term infants, does early feeding of cow’s milk-based infant formula affect the risk of developing cow’s milk allergy?
