Children born in the fall are more likely to get asthma
Babies born in the fall months, right before the peak of the cold and flu season, are more likely to develop breast milk than babies born in other seasons.

American research investigating the history of more than 95,000 children has found a higher risk of asthma in babies with early respiratory infections in their lives.
"Babies born 4 months before the peak of the cold season have a 30% higher risk of asthma," the researchers said.
It also means that these babies are conceived from December to January every year.
Although it is difficult to intervene at the time of birth, this study shows that parents can avoid conception during these months to provide long-term benefits for children.
"Of course, we also have to prove that avoiding respiratory infections will avoid a lifelong chronic disease," said Dr. Tina Hartert from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee (USA).
