Babies who were breast-fed by their moms are less likely to develop
type 2 diabeteslater in life.
Breast-fed babies appear to be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes when they reach adolescence, according to findings published in the medical journal Diabetes Care.
"Dramatic increases in childhood obesity and the emergence of type 2 diabetes in youth motivate research to identify lifestyle approaches to primary prevention of both conditions," write Dr. Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis of the University of South Carolina, Columbia, and colleagues.
Breastfeeding have already too many benefits, most especially health-wise of both mother and baby. But for me the most important ones are the fact that
breastfeedingis both cheap and convenient.
What a bonus if breastfeeding can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in babies, later in their lives!
