Early Breastfeeding Protects Preschool Mental Health

"Early breastfeeding, particularly during the first 4 months of life, was associated with fewer emotional and behavioural problems in children at the age of 4 years.

Children breastfed for this duration had reduced internalising and externalising problems, aggressive behaviour, and symptoms related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

No additional benefit was observed beyond 8 months of breastfeeding."

"

MCRI study reveals how breastfeeding supports infant immunity and reduces inflammation through unique nutrients. Read more.
