Breast-milk microbes and risk of asthma by 6 years of age
Conclusions: Our data supports breast-milk as a considerable source of early-life microbial exposure and provides the first indication that microbes in breast-milk may affect the risk of asthma and thus have prolonged impact on child health.

National allergy programme had little impact on parent ‐reported food allergies in children aged 6‐7 years
ConclusionWe studied the national allergy programme that started in 2008 and found that there was a non‐significant overall decrease in the number of children aged 6‐7 on avoidance diets for allergies between 2009‐2016. The only allergies that showed signficiant decreases were fresh fruit and vegetables.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Vitamin D intake during the first 4  years and onset of asthma by age 5: A nested case‐control study
ConclusionsIncreased vitamin D intake in childhood, particularly intake at 1 and 2 years of age, may increase risk of childhood asthma. This might reflect a true effect or residual confounding by lifestyle or environmental factors. Repeated assessment of vitamin D intake allowed evaluation of the longitudinal and age‐dependent impact of vitamin D on the risk of asthma. Further longitudinal studies are required to confirm or question these findings.
