The period of infancy and early childhood is a critical time for interventions to prevent future mental health problems. The first signs of mental health difficulties can be manifest in infancy, emphasizing the importance of understanding and identifying both protective and risk factors in pregnancy and the early postnatal period.

Cow’s milk protein allergies on the rise in our kids

Up to three out of every 100 babies develop cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in their first year of life – and this number appears to be on the rise

Randomized controlled trial of early regular egg intake to prevent egg allergy

determining if regular consumption of egg protein from age 4 to 6 months reduces the risk of IgE mediated allergy in infants with genetic risk, without eczema.

Planning ahead: the mental health value of natural environments

Over the past decade, a growing number of studies have linked urban green space and aspects of biodiversity with emotional wellbeing.

Each meal matters in the exposome: Biological and community considerations in fast-food-socioeconomic associations

As we discuss, equal weekly visits to major fast-food outlets by the affluent and deprived do not translate into biological equivalency.

Bugging allergy; role of pre-, pro- and synbiotics in allergy prevention

Here, we summarize and discuss findings of randomized clinical trials that have examined the effects of these strategies on short and long-term.

Randomized controlled trial of early regular egg intake to prevent egg allergy

We aimed to determine whether regular consumption of egg protein from 4-6 month old reduced the risk of IgE-mediated egg allergy in infants without eczema.

Association Between Family Characteristics and the Effect of Timing of Regular Egg Introduction in Infant Egg Allergy

A recent systematic review of 5 randomized clinical trials, found that early egg introduction was associated with reduced egg allergy.

Conservation of gene expression patterns between the amniotic and nasal epithelium at birth

Amniotic epithelial cells are fetal-derived stem cells, capable of differentiating into all three germ layers, including mature epithelial cell populations. Here, we hypothesised that the amniotic epithelium might serve as a surrogate tissue source for investigating transcriptional profiles in the respiratory epithelium of newborns.
