[QUOTE="azure, post: 1407761, member: 39639"] The rate of Type 1 has been increasing over the decades. Studies have found that babies who have been introduced to cows' milk (ie formula) before the age of 6 months have an increased risk of developing Type 1 diabetes. Obviously that doesn't mean that every bottle-fed baby will get Type 1, but it does mean that breastfeeding can reduce the chances, as my consultant emphasised when my children were born. So yes, there [B]is[/B] truth in the leaflet - it's stating a fact: that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of developing Type 1, quite apart from the other health benefits, of course. The leaflet is also correct in stating that children of parents with Type 1 have a slightly increased risk,of developing Type 1 themselves. But the risk is still small. There are threads about this in the Type 1 section for those who,are interested. [/QUOTE]
