Long­term neurodevelopmental benefits of breastfeeding. Bar S1, Milanaik R, Adesman A.

Author information Abstract PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of an infant#$#apos;s life, with continuation of breastfeeding for at least a year or as mutually desired by mother and child. A robust body of research literature documenting the short­ term medical, developmental, and emotional benefits of breastfeeding for infants and toddlers supports this position. This article reviews the neurodevelopmental benefits of breastfeeding as it relates to preschool and school­age children, with particular emphasis on cognitive development, attention­deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. RECENT FINDINGS: The majority of research studies examining breastfeeding and long­term neurodevelopmental outcomes suggest that children who breastfeed for longer than 6 months have better cognitive outcomes, lower risk of developing attention­deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and lower risk of being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. SUMMARY: Pediatricians play a critical role in educating and counseling families about infant nutrition and feeding. Along with the many positive short­term medical effects that breastfeeding confers, physicians should be aware of the growing body of research suggesting that there are also significant long­term neurodevelopmental benefits of breastfeeding.
