La Leche League didn't sponsor this. Don't blame them if you disagree with this guy's speculations.

FWIW, I was also breastfed, probably for the longest of any of my siblings, and I am the one "kid" with the most allegies as well as OSA.

Exceptions however don't negate a statistical association.

On the other hand, it would be good to see a good well done study to support this idea. Maybe it does pan out in general, maybe not. Maybe the relationship, if one were to be found, is not causational either. Without real studies, there's no telling either way.

On the other other hand, it costs nothing to do as Nature intends and refrain from unnecessarily exposing one's children to the risks that come with artificial feeding.
