Proven that Breastfeeding May Boost Babies' IQs by Indian Bhabhi



There is plenty of evidence that breastfeeding can provide a variety of health benefits to the baby. Ranging from lowering the risk of bladder infections, ear infections, obesity, and diabetes for both mother and child.

In addition, breastfeeding is also believed to make babies more intelligent brain. It was finally proven in a recent study reported in the journal Pediatrics JAMA.

"Breastfeeding is able to increase the IQ of babies," said Mandy Belfort from Harvard Medical School, as quoted by USA Today.


Proven that Breastfeeding May Boost Babies' IQs

Based on data collected from 1,312 mothers and their babies, the study found that breastfeeding for longer can improve verbal ability when the child was three years old and non-verbal skills or IQ at the age of seven years.

Unfortunately, fish consumption by a breastfeeding mother does not affect children's cognitive development. (Fish rich in omega-3 has been associated with brain development.)

Suggestion that breastfeeding itself is actually enforced exclusively breast-feeding mothers to infants until the age of four months. After that, the mother still breastfeeding with complementary foods until the infant reaches the age of one year.

Even so, the researchers did not mention how long mothers should breastfeed their babies. They assert that this study is one of the other evidence that shows the efficacy of breastfeeding for baby's intelligence.
