Solid Food and Allergies.

The article presents a study led by Anne Zutavern in Germany which examines the benefits of delaying the introduction of solid foods to newborn infants until the baby is at least four to six months old. The researchers analyzed the data from the cohort study called Influences of Lifestyle-Related Factors on the Immune System and the Development (LISA). Zutavern and her colleagues said that giving solid foods to infants after six months of age is a protective measure against atopic diseases.
