It is difficult to answer because no one knows. However, there are differences in the approach to parenting, which may have consequences. In my young days, which were after the Second World War, the children were given everything to eat, and there was no thought about allergies. The closest of my body came to one - this is the dust from which the sinus comes out. However, no one from my family or anyone we knew ever mentioned allergies.
The babies were brought back with a taste of everything, even when they spit it out. There were a lot of eggs on the menu: nuts, fruits, vegetables of all kinds and, of course, meat. My children were given exactly the same treatment. My children received cow's milk when they were weaned, and nothing was held back.
My daughter, unlike her, read books to determine what her children should eat. They were refused eggs and many other products. The result, which may have come from this practice, is that one of them is highly allergic to certain foods.
Other factors that appeared on the scene are books written by male doctors who emphasized the importance of deterring certain foods for a young child. This, combined with junk food that produces fresh or homemade food, shows that young children get things like soda drinks with a high sugar content, foods high in salt and other things and sweets like donuts with ice and cookies.
Observing how a young mother feeds these things to babies in shopping centers to keep them quiet, when she concentrates on her purchases, leads to other thoughts. Why take a child who is young to these places where they see junk food and shout their heads to get them?
It can be difficult for mothers to make their way through modern trials and mistakes in order to avoid health problems, but they need to wake up, as modern parenting classes do. Although such things cannot be held responsible for allergies, some practitioners may be interested in studying the current changes in this area compared with the post-war years. It can also help to understand the problems of obesity that some adults face.
Of course, children are used to following them into the adult hood. This may apply to those who cannot get through the mall without first visiting the pharmacy. Interesting thoughts that should be explored further.
