Family allergies? Help protect your baby from allergies

You probably know that if you or your partner has an allergy, the likelihood of your baby developing an allergy increases.

Vinalac brings you the good news that during pregnancy and breastfeeding there are practical, clinically proven measures that may help you to protect your baby against developing an allergy such as eczema or asthma, right through his early years.

A study published in the highly-regarded medical journal, The Lancet showed the 'friendly bacteria' or probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus to be safe for both you and your baby, and to:
  • Reduce frequency of allergic eczema by 49% in at-risk children at 2 years old when taken during and after pregnancy by mums with a family history of allergy.
Vinalac is the only Lactobacillus rhamnosus-containing supplement available in the UK specifically developed for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Visit www.probiotics4infanthealth.com for details.

To help protect your baby's delicate skin during her early weeks, we've teamed up with Natural Colour Cotton who use 100% pure natural eco friendly fabric that is not only famed organically but contains NO DYES. This means The Perfect Start baby wear and gift sets are softer, more huggable and kinder to the skin. To view, visit www.colourcotton.com.

Having been a sickly child myself, would love to minimise the risk for my baby.

my two sons both suffer quite badly from asthma, to be able to help prevent my unborn baby from having it as well would be amazing!

I would love to win this for my baby as its been proven to reduce the risk of allergies, what more could any mother ask for.
added by sclsam [Thu 15th Jan 2009 @ 17:35:06]
this is very exciting - my husband has so many allergies and had terrible childhood asthma - as someone who never suffered from anything I am terrified by the helplessness allergies induce in a parent and my 3 year old already has ezcema - thanks for making me aware
