“…In contrast, other studies report fewer infants achieving tolerance before the age of 12 months, and some not until 18–24 months [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The high level of adherence to the MedDiet of the mothers in our study [ 11 ] and the distinct Greek nutritional habits could explain these differences, in accordance with the previous suggestion of a beneficial role of the MedDiet [ 27 ].…”

Background: Dietary and environmental factors may influence tolerance acquisition in food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). This retrospective observational study explored the role of maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding in tolerance acquisition in infantile FPIAP. Methods: Breastfed infants with FPIAP from six diverse regions in Greece were divided into two groups, based on development of tolerance to the trigger food: Group A (n = 43), before, and Group B (n = 53), after, the 6th month of age. Maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding was elicited using the Mediterranean Diet Score Questionnaire and the Mediterranean Oriented Culture Specific Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Results: Mean age at diagnosis of FPIAP (1.5 months) and weaning (5.5 months) were the same in both groups. The main trigger was cow’s milk. Group A received infant milk formula earlier than Group B. Group B had a higher incidence of asthma/wheeze, siblings with milk allergy, maternal smoking and rural residence. On multivariate analysis, earlier resolution of FPIAP was associated with higher maternal education and with salt intake and consumption of goat/sheep cheese during pregnancy and olive oil during breastfeeding. Consumption of multivitamins during pregnancy and meat, winter fruits, green vegetables, butter, salt, “ready-to-eat” meals and pastries during breastfeeding were correlated with longer duration of symptoms. Conclusions: Mothers of children with FPIAP to cow’s milk protein can be advised to eat more yogurt, cheese and olive oil during subsequent pregnancies, and avoid multivitamins, grilled food, “ready-to-eat” meals, pastries, meat and alcohol during breastfeeding, to reduce the duration of FPIAP presenting in future infants.

“…As a product of physiological activity, breast milk has various nutrients which are essential for the growth and development of newborn individuals. It has been documented that maternal diet and metabolic function can affect brain development and function in their offspring [ 15 ]. Sialic acid, which is a derivative of a class of neuraminic acids widely found in the brain and milk of mammals, is an important ingredient to constitute the glycoprotein and glycolipid.…”

Effect of Maternal Administration of Edible Bird’s Nest on the Learning and Memory Abilities of Suckling Offspring in Mice

et al. 2018

Although human brains continue developing throughout the underage developmental stages, the infancy period is considered the most important one for the whole life. It has been reported that sialic acid from edible bird's nest (EBN) can facilitate the development of brain and intelligence. In this study, by oral administration of EBN to female mice during the pregnancy or lactation period, the effects of EBN on the levels of sialic acid in mouse milk were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, the spatial learning performances of their offspring were assessed using the Morris water maze test. Additionally, cerebral malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in cubs nursed by the female mice given the EBN homogenate were examined, while BDNF immunohistochemical staining and neuron count in hippocampi were investigated as well. These results showed that administration with EBN in maternal mice during pregnancy or lactation period can improve the learning and memory functions in their offspring, possibly by increasing the activities of SOD and ChAT and, at the meantime, decreasing the levels of MDA and activities of AChE. Moreover, BDNF levels for CA1, CA2, and CA3 regions in hippocampi and the numbers of dyed neurons in CA1, CA2, CA3, and DG regions among the offspring were significantly enhanced due to the intake of EBN by the maternal mice. We concluded that maternal administration of EBN during the pregnancy and lactation periods can improve the spatial learning performances in the offspring.

“…In utero exposures may markedly increase the risk of asthma or allergies in childhood , and thus, identifying such exposures is relevant to primary prevention of these common conditions. Findings from experimental and epidemiologic studies suggest that one such exposure—maternal diet or maternal nutrient status during pregnancy—affects the incidence of asthma and/or other allergic diseases (food allergy, eczema, and allergic rhinitis) in childhood , perhaps through effects on the development of the fetal airways or immune responses . However, the available evidence is inconclusive and of variable quality, depending on the dietary pattern or nutrient of interest, and considering current evidence, no recommendations about increasing or avoiding the consumption of these nutrients to prevent or ameliorate allergic disease in their offspring can be made .…”
