“…Sixty-five per cent of women in this study reported avoiding peanut during pregnancy regardless of their own or their family history of atopy. Although this advice (COT report) was only issued in the UK (Calman, 1998;Woods, 1998), other countries have also reported that some pregnant women avoided peanut during pregnancy, even though this was not recommended in their country and that this avoidance was unrelated to atopic status (van Odijk et al, 2004). Forty two per cent of the mothers in this cohort had recalled hearing about the COT advice whilst pregnant and on the basis of this advice, half of this group had changed their diets.…”

“…Two further studies investigated whether a family history of allergic disease had any effect on weaning practices. van Odijk et al found no difference between timing of introduction of solids or introduction of highly allergenic foods in the atopic and nonatopic families (12). In contrast, Schoetzau et al (21) found that mothers of infants with a family risk of eczema had delayed solid food feeding beyond the first 6 months more frequently than mothers of subjects without a family history.…”

Maternal diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as infant feeding and weaning practices, may play a role in the development of sensitization to food and food hypersensitivity (FHS) and need further investigation. Pregnant women were recruited at 12 wk pregnancy. Information regarding family history of allergy was obtained by means of a questionnaire. A food frequency questionnaire was completed at 36 wk gestation. Information regarding feeding practices and reported symptoms of atopy was obtained during the infants' first 3 yr of life. Children were also skin-prick tested at 1, 2 and 3 yr to a pre-defined panel of food allergens. Food challenges were conducted where possible. Maternal dietary intake during pregnancy, and breast-feeding duration did not influence the development of sensitization to food allergens or FHS, but weaning age (>= 16 wk) did for sensitization at 1 yr (p = 0.03), FHS by 1 yr (p = 0.02), sensitization at 3 yr (p = 0.01) and FHS by 3 yr (p = 0.02). In contrast, children who were not exposed to a certain food allergen before the age of 3-6 months were less likely to become sensitized or develop FHS. Women with a family history of allergic disease were more likely to breastfeed exclusively at 3 months (p = 0.008) and avoid peanuts from the infant's diet at 6 months (p = 0.03). Maternal dietary intake during pregnancy, and breast-feeding duration did not appear to influence the development of sensitization to food allergens or FHS. Weaning age may affect sensitization to foods and development of FHS. A history of allergic disease has very little impact on maternal dietary, feeding, and weaning practices

“…In addition, it is often assumed that knowledge of risk factors in childhood alone is sufficient for effective parental prevention of adverse health outcomes. However, even when parents are aware of prevention measures, they often fail to comply (Davis et al 2001;van Odijk et al 2004;Zuckerman and Duby 1985), and compliance varies significantly across ethnic groups (Flaskerud and Liu 1991;Tirosh et al 2000). These empirical trends raise two fundamental questions: to what extent can parents prevent poor child health outcomes in different ethnic and socioeconomic contexts, and what specific behaviors enable parents to prevent such outcomes to their maximum ability given specific social and economic constraints?…”

The socioeconomic and ethnic characteristics of parents are some of the most important correlates of adverse health outcomes in childhood. However, the relationships between ethnic, economic, and behavioral factors and the health outcomes responsible for this pervasive finding have not been specified in child health epidemiology. The general objective of this paper is to propose a theoretical approach to the study of maternal behaviors and child health in diverse ethnic and socioeconomic environments. The specific aims are: (a) to describe a causal pathway between the utility that women obtain through work outside the home and through child care and disease hazard rates in childhood using an optimization model; (b) to specify the influence of ethnic and socioeconomic factors on model constraints; (c) to use the model as a tool to learn about how different combinations of maternal wage labor and child care time might influence child health outcomes in diverse social contexts; (d) to identify parameters that will require measurement in future research; (e) to discuss research strategies that will enable us to obtain these measurements; and (f) to discuss the implications of the model for biostatistical modeling and public health intervention. Optimization models are powerful heuristic tools for understanding how ethnic, environmental, family, and personal characteristics can place important constraints on both the quality and quantity of care that women can provide to their children. They provide a quantitative appreciation for the difficult trade-offs that most women face between working in order to purchase basic goods that children cannot do without (e.g., food, clothing, shelter, health insurance), and increasing offspring well-being through child care (e.g., training in social skills, affection, protection from environmental hazards, help with homework).
