Relievers are the lights and sirens of the asthma management world. They are the first responders that you need to turn to in an asthma attack.

If you are reaching for your ventolin/asmol/salbutamol more than twice a week, it's time to head to your GP and get an asthma action plan in place, and a script for a prevention medication. We discussed prevention medications last week, if you missed it be sure to check it out!

Dr Soriah Harvey is a qualified Nutritionist and Dietitian, and a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with our Asthma and Pregnancy team.

In 2020, Dr Harvey published a paper that shared findings on how infant nutrition has a profound impact on all types of respiratory conditions. Breastmilk and/or formula are primary nutrition sources in the first six months of an infant's life.

Breastfeeding was found to have a positive impact on incidence of bronchiolitis, and the utilization of healthcare services.

These positive impacts were notably associated with breastfeeding for any amount of time, with increased benefits for longer durations observed.
