Just like fingerprints, breastmilk is unique, providing tailor-made benefits to each mom and baby. The CHILD Cohort Study has found that certain hormones may help prevent obesity in breastfed babies, while specific sugars may help to strengthen a baby’s immune system and reduce the risk of developing allergies. They also found that beneficial bacteria may be transferred from mom’s milk to the baby, helping to protect against infections and illnesses. Find out how CHILD and its discoveries are helping parents and professionals understand the role of breastmilk in child health and development.
