Early Exposure To Cow's Milk May Cut Infants' Allergies

© Daquella maneraAccording to a new study from Tel Aviv University, infants fed with cow's milk in its first 15 days may protect them from dangerous milk allergies later on.
Researchers found that when babies were exposed to cow's milk, in the form of baby formula, in the first 15 days after birth, they seemed to be protected from developing an allergy to milk protein later in life. In a prospective cohort study, they tracked 13,019 infants and found that those who consumed formula early on were 19 times more protected from cow's milk protein allergy, or CMPA, than babies who consumed formula after the first 15 days.
The current advice of medical authorities recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months in babies, as it provides optimal nutritional, immunological and emotional benefits for the growth and development of infants. Therefore the above finding is opposing the current recommendations.

Interesting study, but I wonder if they used organic formula? It seems that even if milk allergies could be reduced by early exposure, the rise in allergy risk to other substances might increase. I've included a good article on baby care and reducing risk of allergies in children in my name link (Healthy Futures/Dorris Rapp) -- recommends organic formula if not breastfeeding, and other tips for reducing allergies.

I agree with this. Early exposure to milk protein of cows increases resistance to allergies later in life. Many doctors suggest that whole milk be avoided in the first months of feeding a baby.
