Breastfeeding and atopic dermatitis: protective or harmful? facts and
controversies <http://www.mdlinx.com/readArticle.cfm?art_id=2988374>
Clinics in Dermatology, 01/06/10

   Dattner AM – Conventional wisdom posits that breastfeeding during the
   first 4 months of life generally reduces the incidence of atopic dermatitis
   in the child. Recent studies question this truism, especially in cases when
   the mother herself is allergic. Studies about maternal dietary allergens in
   breast milk and their influence on atopic dermatitis have been questioned as
   well. There is evidence that probiotic and essential fatty acid
   supplementation, along with an allergen–avoidance diet, may reduce the
   chance of maternal dietary allergens provoking atopic dermatitis in the
   infant.

Does anyone have access to this article? This abstract is basically useless!
