Breastfeeding in infancy could have an effect on academic test scores later in a child’s life, a new study suggests.
. It followed 5,000 kids from infancy in the early 2000s through high school. They were divided into three groups – not breastfed; breastfed a few months; and breastfed for more than 12 months. Researchers checked the children’s results in the General Certificate of Secondary Education testing.
The results do not mean every child should be breastfed, said lead study author Reneé Pereyra-Elías, MD, a doctoral student and researcher in the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford.it’s not always possible to breast feed and that no one should worry about putting a child at a disadvantage.
