Unlike the conclusions of the revised Cochrane review the export group set up by the Section on Paediatrics , European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology ( SP-EAACI ) do not find that the exclusion of the four trials dem and s a change of the previous recommendations regarding primary dietary prevention of allergic diseases .
Based on analysis of published peer- review ed observational and interventional studies the results still indicate that breastfeeding is highly recommended for all infants irrespective of atopic heredity .
A dietary regimen is effective in the prevention of allergic diseases in high-risk infants , particularly in early infancy regarding food allergy and eczema .
The most effective dietary regimen is exclusively breastfeeding for at least 4 - 6 months or , in absence of breast milk , formulas with documented reduced allergenicity for at least the first 4 months , combined with avoidance of solid food and cow 's milk for the first 4 months
Effects of maternal diet during late pregnancy and lactation on the development of atopic diseases in infants up to 18 months of age—in‐vivo results
One hundred and sixty‐two women with respiratory allergy to animal d and ers and /or pollens were r and omly allocated to a diet consisting of either a very low ingestion of hens ' egg and cows ' milk or a daily ingestion of one hens ' egg and about 11 of cows ' milk during the last 3 months of pregnancy .  One hundred and sixty‐three infants were followed prospect ively up to 18 months of age when the cumulated incidence of atopic disease in each child was evaluated blindly . No significant differences in the distribution of atopic disease were found among the infants in relation to the maternal diet during late pregnancy . The numbers of skin‐prick tests positive to ovalbumin , ovomucoid , β‐lactoglobulin and cows ' milk were likewise not influenced by differences in the maternal diet during late pregnancy . Genetic factors rather than maternal diet during the perinatal period probably have a greater effect on the incidence of atopic diseases during early infancy
