The CHILD Cohort Study has made many exciting discoveries about how asthma, allergies, obesity and other chronic diseases develop in early childhood.
One factor influencing these health outcomes is breastfeeding, which benefits babies in many ways and has longer-term positive impacts on health.
CHILD research, involving nearly 3,500 Canadian moms and babies, has shown that breastfed babies have higher levels of beneficial gut bacteria and healthier growth patterns than babies who are not breastfed; that breastfed babies have a lower rate of wheezing – one of the most common reasons infants are hospitalized or receive medical care; and that they have a lower risk of developing asthma as they get older.
CHILD has also discovered that how a baby is breastfed matters too – meaning, there is a difference between feeding directly from the breast and feeding pumped breastmilk from a bottle. And just like fingerprints, breastmilk is unique to each mom and baby.
Find out how CHILD and its discoveries are helping parents, health professionals and communities to understand the role of breastmilk in child health and development, toward ensuring that all babies grow up healthy, however they are fed.
