Drinking Milk While Breastfeeding may Decrease the Child's Food Allergy Risk by Iswarya on  December 24, 2020 at 11:27 AM Nutrients. The result is based on a survey of more than 500 Swedish women's eating habits and the prevalence of allergies in their children at one year of age. "We have found that mothers of healthy one-year-olds consumed more cow's milk during breastfeeding than mothers of allergic one-year-olds. Though the association is clear, we do not claim that drinking cow's milk would be a general cure for food allergies," says Mia Stråvik, a doctoral student in the Division of Food Science at the Chalmers University of Technology and first author of the study.
