Session Description:

Learning Objectives:

  • 1. Discuss commonly seen breastfeeding issues that are concerning for or confused with food allergies 2. Describe the current evidence for presence of food allergy in a breastfed infant and passage of maternal antigens to mother’s milk 3. Understand the management of food allergy in a breastfed and it’s nutritional hazards for the mother and infant 4. Describe the current guidelines of early peanut introduction, risks and benefits involved 5. Discuss novel treatments for peanut allergy in the horizon
Food allergies, especially peanut allergy, are on the rise. They can present in breastfed infants, and several IgE- and non-IgE-mediated presentations have been described. Often, the symptoms are nonspecific and commonly seen in other disorders. Too often breastfeeding is discontinued in order to manage the symptoms, when maternal diet manipulations could result in favorable outcomes allowing continuation of breastfeeding. This seminar will discuss feeding difficulties and presentation of food allergy in breastfed infants. In addition, we will discuss latest advancements in our understanding of the role of prophylactic interventions such as early peanut introduction and novel treatment options such as immunotherapy. Lastly the management of food allergies in breastfed infants and the nutritional implications of maternal elimination diets will be discussed.
