          Breast Milk Component Boosts Infant Brain Connectivity

          Researchers have discovered that myo-inositol, a small cyclic sugar molecule found in breast milk, plays a crucial role in promoting neuronal connections in infants' brains. Prior studies indicated the cognitive benefits of breast milk but were unclear about the specific components responsible.

          Exposure to Alcohol Through Breastmilk Affects Brain and Behavioral Development

          Exposure to alcohol through a mother's breastmilk can have serious and lasting implications for brain and behavioral development in children. Researchers found alcohol exposure via breastmilk resulted in smaller body and brain growth and decreased cortical length in mouse models.

          Breast and Mixed-Fed Babies Found to Be at Lower Risk of Learning Disabilities

          Babies who are exclusively breastfed or consume a mixed diet of breast and formula milk during the first 8 weeks of life are at lower risk of having learning disabilities compared to those who are exclusively bottle-fed, a new study reports.

          Breast Milk Boosts Premature Babies’ Brain Development

          In babies born preterm, the cerebral cortex, a brain area associated with learning and cognition is often underdeveloped. In preterm babies fed larger quantities of breastmilk, the cerebral cortex resembled those of babies born full term. Researchers say breastfeeding could help to reduce learning and behavioral deficits associated with preterm birth.

          Maternal Milk Tied to Better School-Age Outcomes for Children Born Preterm

          Preterm babies who were fed maternal milk during and after a stay in NICU had greater academic achievement, higher IQs, and reduced risk of ADHD than their preterm peers who were not fed maternal milk.

          Breastfeeding May Help Prevent Cognitive Decline

          While the positive impact of breastfeeding on babies is well known, little is known about the positive benefits for the mother. A new study reveals women who breastfed their children performed better on cognitive tests at age 50 than those who fed their children with an alternative method.

          Breastfeeding Status and Duration Significantly Impact Postpartum Depression Risk

          Researchers identified a link between breastfeeding and a decreased risk of new mothers developing postpartum depression. The longer a mother breastfed her child, the more the risk of PPD decreased.
