Abstract

Introduction: This study examined the relationship between timing of introduction of complementary feeding, type of early milk feeding (breast milk, standard cow's milk formula [CMF], prebiotic-supplemented hydrolysed cow's milk formula [pHF-OS]) and development of eczema in infants at increased risk of allergy. Objectives: This is a sub-study of the PATCH randomized-controlled trial which evaluated the effect of pHF-OS on prevention of eczema [ISRCTN65195597]. PATCH participants were randomized to receive pHF-OS or CMF for 6 months. A breastfed reference group was included. Cumulative incidence of eczema was assessed at age 18 months and 5 years. Age at introduction of complementary feeding was categorized as early-introduction (
