ADVERSE EFFECTS, EGG ALLERGY
In this randomized clinical trial involving 380 breastfed infants whose parents had an allergic disease, maternal consumption of 1 whole egg per day during the first 5 days after delivery did not affect egg allergy development and sensitization to egg white in the infants compared with complete egg avoidance by the mothers during the same period. No adverse effects were observed.
