Studies show that birth order really can have an impact on health. You can not help the order in which your children are born. But knowing what ailments probably knock on your older child can help keep them safe, happy and healthy!
Firstborn children make an average of three points higher on IQ tests than younger siblings. Smarts are well, this is better: research from the University of Glasgow suggests that children who marked higher in IQ tests are less likely to develop coronary heart disease and some cancers.
Firstborn children are more likely to suffer from allergies, asthma and eczema. Why? Researchers think it may be that firstborn children are more protected from outside germs until they start school. Younger children may develop stronger immune systems due to viruses and bacteria that older siblings bring home from school.
Know the difference between a cold and allergies. About half of all chronic sinus infections is allergy related! If you are not sure if allergies are a problem, go to your doctor about allergy testing.
Firstborn men have a higher risk of developing testicular cancer. Why? The older child is generally exposed to higher estrogen levels in the womb, compared to subsequent children. Testicular cancer is curable if caught at an early stage. If there is a family history of this cancer, American Cancer Society recommends that a monthly self-help to get testicular cancer before it anticipates too far.
I must admit - I am a born child. At least there I have to worry about testicular cancer ... but I really struggled with allergies as a child. My brother did, too, but they appeared before I really had a chance to boost my immune system for bringing germs home from school.
