Breastfeeding might offer protection against asthma, saysa new study released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
In the two-year study on asthma and wheezing illness in one year olds and kindergarten children, they found that within the first three years of life, almost 17 per cent of Australian infants experienced asthma or wheezing illness.
However breastfeeding within the first 12 months of life may offer a protective effect against asthma or wheezing in infancy, which increases with increasing breastfeeding duration.
Report author Professor Guy Marks, of the Australian Centre for Asthma Monitoring said, ‘Asthma or wheeze in infants was more common in those whose mothers had asthma, were relatively young or smoked during pregnancy.’
