Objective To evaluate whether prolonged delayed of whole cow's milk into an infant's diet are factors that can be egg sensitization. Methods This was a hospital-based case–control study, matched by age sex: each study group comprised 97 atopic children. Additionally, logistic regression used identify protein Results The most common type allergic disease among both groups rhinitis. After adjusting for possible confounding variables, decreased odds sensitization; OR = 0.16 (95% CI: 0.07–0.36, p  Conclusion Prolonged breastfeeding, regardless it only infant drank, greatly increased risk Interestingly, reduced possibility becoming sensitized eggs. Further studies required elucidate these findings.
