Allergies are more likely to develop if there’s a history of eczema, asthma, hayfever or food allergies in your family. Breastfeeding your baby exclusively for the first 6 months will help to lower their risk. If you’re not breastfeeding, ask your health visitor or GP for advice on what kind of formula milk to offer your baby.
