Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease in children. The disease onset and eruption progression most commonly occur at the age of less than 6 months and coincide with the timing of the first complementary foods. Complementary foods are given to infants with atopic dermatitis at the same tone as to healthy babies; however, there are significant differences in complementary feeding tactics. The paper discusses in detail principles for choosing the first complementary foods for infants with atopic dermatitis, rules for introducing of complementary foods, necessary patient preparation, and precautions. The given assumptions are strengthened by a clinical example.
