Our first questionnaire for parents of young children is ready to be sent in March! We have included questions about 7 common food allergens: cow’s milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, sesame and wheat. We want to know if the mums are giving any of these foods to their babies, when, why not, how often and if they are doing it to prevent food allergy (by introducing them early as per guidance).
The first questionnaire will be sent in March, to about 2,500 mothers that consented to be contacted for our study. The babies will be about 15-17 months old. We will then plan to send the second and last questionnaire in October when the babies will be about 22-24 months old.
