First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study followed 221 breastfeeding mothers and their babies for one year to see if tiny molecules called microRNAs in breast milk are linked to allergies, eczema, or wheezing. Researchers measured these molecules in milk and checked babies for allergic conditions. The goal is to understand how breast milk may influence a child's immune system, not to test a treatment.
