Breastfeeding Can Give your Baby Stronger Lungs

We all know that there are many benefits that your baby can get from breastfeeding. Since breast milk is a natural source of milk, it has natural elements like antioxidants. It also helps boost the baby’s immunity helping to combat diseases like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and arthritis to name a few sicknesses.

A new study undertaken by scientists from USA and United Kingdom reveals that breast milk can also help the baby develop stronger lungs all the way to adulthood. Respiratory problems are also lessened in children who are fed with breast milk.

In order to get a conclusion like this, the researchers studied a total of 1,456 babies who are fed with breast milk and evaluated these children for ten years. Majority of the babies were breastfed until their 4th month and these children are evaluated to be able to blow out air after taking deep breaths and in turn, can blow it out faster. This is one evidence pointing to stronger lungs.

Recent studies have already found out that breastfeeding will lessen the chances of asthma occurring in your baby. This is regardless of the fact if the mother has respiratory problems or a history of asthma in their family.

In conclusion, the researchers conducting this study said that those babies who were breastfed for 4 months have stronger lung capacity than those babies who weren’t breastfed at all.
