The way humans have been nourishing their young for years, and centuries, and millennia — since we developed MAMMARY GLANDS — turns out to be the best way to nourish their young. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Crazy, I know. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This is something that, if you had both oars in the water, you would be able to know intuitively from basic common sense. That said, science is not based on common sense, and must demonstrate the what, why, and wherefore. It’s nice to see the data confirm and extend what we already figured was true. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The research, published in the July issue of <\/span>Pediatrics<\/span><\/i>, showed that b<\/span>reast-feeding (probably from the colostrum) provides an immune system boost to infants, helping to prevent respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses in babies, according to new research.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Babies who were breast-fed exclusively for 4 months, and then partially until they were 6 months old, had a reduced risk of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections compared to babies who had never been breast-fed, the Dutch team found.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Exclusive breast-feeding reduces respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in infancy,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Henriette Moll, a professor of pediatrics at Erasmus Medical Center’s Sophia’s Children’s Hospital in Rotterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our results support health policy strategies to promote exclusive breast-feeding for at least 4 months and preferably 6 months in industrialized countries. This is in line with the World Health Organization recommendations for 6 months of exclusive breast-feeding,” said Moll.<\/span><\/p>\n
