Asthma and Breastfeeding

One new study done by Wendy Oddy at the Institute of Child Health Research at Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth, found that exclusive breast feeding for at least 4 months is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of asthma and atopy at age 6 years and with a significant delay in the age at onset of wheezing and asthma being diagnosed.

This research is published now by the British Medical Journal, BMJ 1999;319:815-819 ( 25 September )(on line in full free) and reported by the BBC.
