Asthma rates among children are growing. It’s a real concern for parents. In the UK, more than 20 children 14 years and younger die of asthma. Estimates put a child in hospital due to asthma every 19 minutes.

What’s a parent to do?

Apparently, one of the possible solutions is to have more kids! Repeated research shows that sharing a bedroom with siblings at an early age results in a healthier immune system. A healthier immune system means less asthma. In fact, 1 in 10 only children will develop asthma, while a mere 1 in 200 from large families will!
