Method Prospective data on complementary feeding practices, using a detailed food diary over the first 6-weeks of complementary feeding, were collected as part of Cork BASELINE Birth Cohort Study (n 1537). An allergenic food was determined present, if labelled as an ingredient and not if stated as ‘may contain’. Eczema was determined if the UK working party diagnostic criteria were satisfied at 6 and 12 months.
