Breastfeeding is associated with lower likelihood of Helicobacter pylori colonization in babies, based on a prospective USA maternal-infant cohort.
The authors evaluated maternal and baby factors associated with likelihood of H. pylori colonization in the babies. They found that H. pylori prevalence was 31.8% in mothers and 19.7% in their babies. Dominant breastfeeding and maternal IBD were associated with significantly lower likelihood of H. pylori colonization among babies; no other clinical factors were associated with H. pylori colonization in the babies. They concluded that dominant breastfeeding may protect against early H. pylori colonization.
