Breastfeeding
Benefits of breastfeeding include early life immunity and reduction in
respiratory infections. Dogaru et al3 showed strong
protective association with wheezing in the first 2 years of life, ie
protects against transient early wheezing by reducing RTIs known to
trigger wheeze attacks. Ayuk et al showed that early introduction of
non-breast milk foods were associated with allergic sensitization and
subsequent development of food allergy and asthma.
