Impact of maternal atopy and probiotic supplementation during pregnancy on infant sensitization: a double‐blind placebo‐controlled study

Abstract

Infants of atopic mothers, specifically when breastfed exclusively over 2.5 months or totally over 6 months, had a higher risk of sensitization at the age of 12 months. This risk could be reduced by the use of probiotics during pregnancy and lactation, partly by resulting in a beneficial composition of the breast milk.
