[QUOTE="azure, post: 1477194, member: 39639"] [USER=407049]@Adam01[/USER] You're right. Studies have suggested that breastfeeding reduces the risk of Type 1. It also reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes :) As Tim says, nobody can say for sure whether the risk continues during childhood. I was originally told that it was the introduction of cow/formula milk in the first 6 months that was the risk, but in my most recent pregnancy my consultant repeated the WHO advice to breastfeed up to 3 years. So I'd say your wife could breastfeed as long as she's happy to :) Post edited in the light of further info [/QUOTE]
