Toronto - It is very well known that breastfeeding is the main and very essential diet for young ones as it protects the child from various diseases and allergies. But recently a new study has found that breastfeeding helps the child to have a higher IQ level. This research has revealed a new and significant benefit of mother’s milk for the child.
The recent Canadian study was conducted on 14,000 children also involving mothers who support breastfeeding in a long run and those mothers who don’t believe in long-term breastfeeding. The results of this study were remarkable, with children who were breastfeed for a long-term showing great intelligence than rest.
Lead author Professor Michael Kramer said: “Long-term, exclusive breastfeeding appears to improve children’s cognitive development.”
The study appears in Archives of General Psychiatry.
