Delaying the baby feeding with solid food until six months after the birth, mothers around the world apply this as a cardinal principal and try to save their babies from possible risks of developing asthma and allergies. Research however, suggests that mothers are simply wasting their time ensuring that.
Dr Joachim Heinrich, at the ‘Institute of Epidemiology in Neuherberg, Germany’, and colleagues made an attempt to emphasize that even the international guidelines also advise that babies should not be given solid foods for up to 6 months after birth in order to reduce their risk of developing asthma and allergies. These research findings have been published in the January issue of the journal “Pediatrics”.
