Summary

"This trial will study how a baby's risk of developing allergies to peanuts and eggs is affected by the mother's diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding."

Who is the study for?
This study is for expecting mothers who are not allergic to peanuts or eggs. It's designed to see if eating or avoiding these foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding affects their baby's risk of developing food allergies.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the impact of maternal diet on infant allergy development. Specifically, it looks at whether mothers consuming or avoiding peanuts and eggs can influence their child's likelihood of having a peanut or egg allergy.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary choices rather than medication, there aren't typical side effects. However, there may be risks associated with nutritional changes for the mother and potential allergy development in infants.
