Effect of breastfeeding duration on lung function, respiratory symptoms and allergic diseases in school‐age children
Abstract
A positive effect of breastfeeding on lung function has been demonstrated in cohorts of children with asthma or risk for asthma. We assessed the impact of breastfeeding on lung function and symptoms at the age of 6 years in an unselected, healthy birth cohort.
