Breastfeeding and brain DHA

 breastfeeding is positively associated with performance in intelligence tests in childhood in such as subjects who had been breastfed had an average gain of 3.44 IQ points .

Specifically, for each additional month of exclusive breastfeeding, child verbal IQ was 0.8 points higher, translating to a benefit of almost 5 points over 6 months, the recommended duration of exclusive breastfeeding.

Research shows that breastfeeding can increase  growth of white matter in a baby’s brain by 20-30%.
Exclusively breastfed babies show more brain growth before age 2 than formula-fed babies or those fed both ways, according to research.
