How Do I Prevent Allergies In My Future Children?

You can’t cure allergies, you can help prevent them becoming bothersome by breast feeding infants for at least two years. Allergies are caused by your body fighting off elements that it sees as harmful when they aren’t. It’s an over reaction by the body to things in your environment. With a family history of allergies, there is a pretty good chance your children will have them however, breast feeding will reduce the possibility – NOT eliminate it. My mother breast fed me and and both my sisters, two of us ended up with allergies, one didn’t. The only thing you can do is be aware and take steps to keep allergens out of your child’s environment.

you cannot for see the future, you may have one child with major allergies and one without any. you just need to deal with the situation when you have children, there are so many things that you will have to worry about when you have a child that this is something you don’t need to worry about now you are talking about a year from now maybe?

You can’t really prevent allergies in unborn children. What you can do is eat to make yourself and them strong, and take good care of yourself so they will be as strong as they can be.

while there is no garantee about allergy elimination, i believe that if you breast feed your children will be healthier all around. me and my sister were breastfed and we have never had allergy problems. my husband and his sister were not and they have a lot more sinus related problems. so there’s my two cents.
