Breastfeeding modulates neonatal innate immune responses: a prospective birth cohort study

Abstract: Neonatal innate immune responses are differentially modulated by environmental exposure in the first month of life. The protective effect of breastfeeding against subsequent infections and atopy might be explained by its innate immune modulatory effects in the first month of life.

“…Innate immune responses differ between breast-fed and formula-fed infants during the first month of life (39). Later differences in systemic inflammatory parameters have only been shown in selected groups; breast feeding was associated with higher CRP in adolescents in a follow-up study on preterm infants (9) but not in another study on term infants (40).…”

“…14,15 The development of asthma and allergic disease might be mediated by the innate immune system and its orchestration of complex immune cascades. 1 The first stages of life seem critical for the maturation of the innate immune system, 16 but little is known about the development of gene expression over time and the relevant environmental exposures influencing it.…”

“…Our immune systems have evolved to respond to infections shortly after birth, usually through the mother's antibodies during breast-feeding. 25,26 The immune systems of children exposed at later ages, without having confronted microbes at an earlier age, may not respond as well. These children may have increased risk of developing leukemia.…”
