Description
Breastfeeding impacts growth in several ways, such as through
reduction of morbidity due to infections, stronger immunological
response to disease due to transfer of maternal antibodies and
provision of the optimum balance of nutrients, growth factors,
enzymes, hormones and other bio-active factors.
For example, reviews of evidence on the effects on child health
and growth of exclusive breastfeeding for six months have
presented lower morbidity from gastrointestinal and allergic
diseases, which in turn can prevent growth faltering due to
such illnesses. Breast milk contains substances essential for
optimal development of the infant’s brain, with effects on both
cognitive and visual functions.
