I just spoke to a friend who is a school nurse. She had recently attended a conference specifically for school nurses. One of the speakers was a doctor who specializes in chronic respiratory diseases (asthma, etc). He told an audience of hundreds that the reason we are seeing so many case of asthma and allergies is because of breastfeeding! UGH!!!! I don't know if I should laugh or cry??? I am organizing a packet of literature to forward to this man. If anyone has the references for the latest research, I would appreciate the help. Thank you.
