Breastfeeding does not influence the development of inhibitors in haemophilia.

Knobe, Karin LU ; Tengborn, Lilian LU ; Petrini, P and Ljung, Rolf LU orcid (2002) In Haemophilia 8(5). p.657-659
Abstract
Our aim was to test the hypothesis that breastfeeding may reduce development of inhibitors in male infants with haemophilia by inducing an oral immune tolerance to factor VIII. To achieve that goal, we performed a structured epidemiological survey comprising all males born with severe haemophilia A (in all 100 patients, 19 with inhibitors) or haemophilia B (in all 16 patients, six with inhibitors) in Sweden in 1980-99. Our results show no protective effect of breastfeeding.
