There is actually new info. stating breastfeeding is benificial UNLESS the mother is asthmatic. If the mother is asthmatic,breastfeeding can actually decrease the lung function in her children because of passing inflamitory hormones and because asthmatic mothers do not posess a chemical for lung growth (which may be why they are asthmatic to begin with). There was also a study that came out in the 90's that examined mother's milk. It too stated that an asthmatic mother's milk did not posess a chemical needed for lung growth in babies. I would have been more skeptical if these studies had not been so reflected in my own life. My brother and I were breastfed by an asthmatic mother. we have asthma. My sister was not breastfed by our mom, she is NOT asmatic. My son was breastfed by me, an asthmatic mother, he has asthma. My daughter was not breastfed, she does NOT have asthma.

I thought this info. was important because we all want to do what's best for our little ones. However, breastfeeding if you are asthmatic may actually be harmful to them.

I am bumping this one because I put it on too late last night for the ones that would actually be interested in it to see it. This is important info to have if you are an asthmatic. The decision to breastfeed is very personal, and the breastfeeding nazis would have you nurse no matter what. But in view of the new info, an asthmatic mother NEEDS to what the potential is of something we believed would save our children the same struggle we deal with day to day.
