title: Feeding practices of babies and the development of atopic dermatitis in children after 12 months of age in Armenia: is there a signal?
abstract: We investigated the influence of feeding practices on development of atopic dermatitis (AD) in Armenian children (n = 240). In multivariate models early introduction to solids, family history of atopy, and breastfeeding by a mother with atopic condition were associated with the development of AD after 12 months post-term. A prospective study in Armenia is recommended to confirm our findings.
