Feeding infants formula instead of breast milk causes eczema.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that feeding infants formula instead of breast milk causes eczema?

Unclear. Two sources report an association between formula feeding and higher eczema occurrence compared with breastfeeding: a reference article lists eczema among health risks associated with formula, and a five-year follow-up of high-risk infants found eczema lowest in breastfed and whey-hydrolysate groups. Both are associational and cover only part of the claim, so they do not establish that formula causes eczema.
