As per new research, feeding
milk to new-born baby up to six months decreases the risk of generating asthma
symptoms in new-born baby. European Respiratory Journal has published this
study, if you will look at effect of period of breast-feeding and other present
alternative solids or liquids, all these are addition to breast milk.
Generation R study’s researchers, Netherland’s Erasmus Medical Center had used an idea; they used questionnaires to collect valuable and true
data from almost 5,000 children. They learnt after birth in first twelve months
survey examined some children who were breastfed and some children who were not
breast fed by any other solids or any other milk.
Other questionnaires were finished when children became one,
two, three and four years ago and they checked whether children have symptoms
of asthma or not.
The result
came out that kids who had not been breastfed,
they had raised chances of dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and tenacious
phlegm while their first four years, as compares to those children who were
breastfed for continuous six months.
The major links founded of persistent phlegm and wheezing, if
children were not breastfed by any other liquids the number of infected children
would be less.
The risk rate was high among those children who were not
breastfed in first four months after birth; they were fed by other outside baby
products, because of that; health problems such as breath shortness, wheezing
and persistent phlegm and dry cough. The study also founded the proof that
first symptom of asthma appeared early in life, in case if children were breast
fed at least for short period they will not face all these diseases.
Even the
early studies also showed the same effect between asthma risk and
breastfeeding, the first research displayed connection between numerous
wheezing episodes and breastfeeding length.
Erasmus Medical centre’s lead author and Dr. Anges Sonnenschein
–van der voort said in Netherlands, “the connection between breastfeeding
exclusiveness and duration with symptoms of asthma was based on atopic and
infectious diseases. This result is in favour of present health policy
strategies, which support special breastfeeding for six months, majorly in
industrialised countries. Future studies need to discover the prime
protective breastfeeding effects on numerous asthma types in later life.
