A recent study claims that children who are breastfed are likely to have fewer behavioural problems. Parents who breastfeed for 4 months are apparently 2.5 times less likely to experience behaviour problems with their children by the time they are 5 years of age. The research suggests that only 6% of children breastfeeding had issues compared with 16 % of those on formula milk. Experts have commented that the nutrients such as fatty acid in the breast milk may have a lasting effect on the child’s brain development. The researchers used data of more than 10,000 mothers and their children.
