Human breast milk regulates a baby's mix of microbes, or microbiome, during the infant's first year of life. This in turn lowers the child's risk of developing asthma, a new study published in the journal Cell shows.

This research topic focuses on the crucial role of maternal and infant nutrition in shaping health outcomes, particularly through its impact on breast milk composition, infant gut microbiota, and long-term development.

Breastfeeding through the first year of infants' lives can lower their risk of asthma by colonizing their bodies with a healthy mix of microbes, a new study finds.
