New moms with asthma can safely breastfeed without worrying that the practice will increase their child’s asthma risk, a new study shows.
Researchers followed children in the United Kingdom from birth until around age 12 to assess the impact of breastfeeding, if any, on lung development.
They found that kids who were breastfed as babies had modestly better lung function than those who were not -- and breastfeeding seemed to convey the most protection to children whose mothers had asthma.
