A recently published study has reinforced the long-held belief that breast-feeding is best for babies.The study was carried out on 1,500 children in South Africa between 7 and 11 years old. It showed that those who drank breast milk exclusively for the first six months of life had an easier time behaving in school than those breast-fed less than one month.
Experts from Glasgow University who led the study said it showed that breast milk for babies has benefits beyond physical health.
