Breast milk helps lungs but not if mom has asthma By Julie Steenhuysen 
 
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Breast-feeding seems to protect children from asthma
later in life, but only when the mother does not have the respiratory
disorder herself, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. 

They found that breast-feeding for more than four months helped improve lung
function in children whose mothers did not have asthma.

But breast-fed children whose mothers had asthma did not benefit and
actually showed a significant drop in lung function later in life.

{{I wonder what the lung function of the non-breastfed children was???}}

Happy Day,
