Dear Friends:
    Asthma is pretty complicated, besides lack of breastfeeding, who knows
what other factors play a role? Family history, tobacco use in the home,
allergies,  and environmental contamination are also parts of this puzzle.
    I can't help but wonder about the boost that a baby would get by being
breastfed.  Perhaps that baby will develop asthma later in life or be
hospitalized less? Need less medication? Avoid more secondary infections?
    Warmly,
