I've had allergies and asthma since I was a kid. I thank my mom all the time for breastfeeding me as long as she did - who KNOWS how much worse off I would be had she not!? But I think about this baby I worry about my child inheriting this less-than-wonderful trait. A new study suggests that there is a link between babies born by cesarean and allergies and asthma. Dr. Ly said "This finding is exciting because it suggests that the mode of delivery may be an important factor influencing immune system development in the neonate." By avoiding a c-section I might help the chances of my child not having these conditions. That's awesome! You can read more about the study here
