I breastfed my son for 6 months, then due to having to go back to work after maternity leave I puthim on the bottle.
But he still got eczema and allergies. I thought breastfeeding was meant to protect against this.
Do you think it is because I also have hayfever and eczema?

Re: Breastfeeding
Contrary to what a lot of people will tell you, breastfeeding is not a magical cure to all ills. It is not some way to protect your child against illness and harm. Of course there are benefits to it. But if you can't or don't breastfeed your child, there should be no guilt. Do what you can.
Re: Breastfeeding
continue breastfeeding him
