OmegaOmega-3 PUFAs
Dietary modifications of supplementation
with fish oil (rich inomega-3 PUFAs) might

occurrence of rhinitis but not asthma

to mothers with a family history of atopy

immunomodulatory effect of
vaccination in primary prevention of allergy

Take Home Message 1
Maternal avoidance diets during
pregnancy and lactation not
recommended at this time
Exclusive breast-feeding recommended
breastfor at least 4 months and up to 6
months of age

Take Home Message 2
BreastBreast-feeding reduce incidence of
atopic dermatitis, reduce early onset
wheezing before age 4 years and
reduce incidence of cow’s milk allergy
in the first 2 years of life

Take Home Message 3
No conclusive evidence supports
formula over breast-feeding to prevent
breastatopic disease
Complementary foods can be
introduced between 4–6 months of age
4–

Take Home Message 4
Preventive effect of HDM avoidance for
sensitization or respiratory allergy not
compelling
Combining food and aeroallergen
avoidance reducing early childhood
wheeze and atopic dermatitis later
asthma
