Although we already knew the link between EBF and lower asthma rates, this one seems to strengthen the link and also to encourage the idea of avoiding the introduction of solids or anything other than breastmilk before at least 6 months.
I haven't had a chance to read the study yet and I'm running out to a training course this morning, so thought I'd throw this up for the other PS/MSs and our resident BFC to take a look through and see what you think.
