Shouldn't that be that... failure to introduce appropriate solids after
six months, increases allergy?

After all, it's nothing to do with the breastmilk as such.  It's to do
with delaying solids.  So there is a window of opportunity on solids,
post six months, and prior 9 months.  Miss the window, and you increase
risks!
