An infant's immune system develops early in life and one of the most important functions is the ability to learn how to 'tolerate' foods in their diet. Failure to develop immune tolerance results in in food allergies. There is an increasing incidence of food related allergies in infants and the diet is likely one of the causes. Breast feeding reduces the risk of developing allergies, but recent studies have suggested that there are foods and nutrients that mom can eat while breast feeding that can improve immune tolerance and even further reduce the chance that her child will develop a food allergy. This seminar will present new recommendations and research that provides evidence that we can feed our babies better to prevent food allergies.
