NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Parents who nurse their children to clean them can help avoid allergies, a recent study suggests.
The researchers said the practice could transfer microorganisms in the mouth of the father or mother to children, giving their immune system a boost.
The study was carried out by Allian Abu Jouda of the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit and presented at the Annual Scientific Conference of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in Seattle.
The study, which included 128 mothers and their children, found that children who were infected had lower levels of IgE, an antibody associated with allergic reactions in the body. These children showed a 50 percent reduction in IgG Which.
High IgE levels usually indicate a greater risk of allergies and allergic asthma.
In contrast, scientists warned that the study needed further research.
Attention should also be paid to the fact that sucking the baby by the father or mother with the disease may also lead to the transmission of bacteria and pathogens to the child, so be aware of this.
