Breastfeeding and mental development
A
new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics (The Journal of
Pediatrics), which tracked 180 babies before birth until the age of
seven, and found that children who are fed more breast milk during the
days of the first 28 of life have had more space in certain areas of The brain and levels of intelligence, academic achievement, and working memory, and a better job for their movement.-
These data support the current recommendations for the use of breast
milk to feed premature infants in the intensive care unit for newborns
at the hospital. This
is not only important, but on the employers, friends and family
members, to provide the support that you need the mother at this time
when they are under pressure and work for the production of milk and
feed their children.
- studying:
Researchers studied the children born before week 30 of pregnancy.
The researchers identified a number of days in which the infants received breast milk by more than 50% of food intake during the day from birth to 28 days after birth.
In addition, the researchers looked at data on the brain measured filming magnetic resonance (MRI) until the age of seven years, in addition to the level of intelligence and reading, and math, attention and working language and visual perception and memory, in addition to the testing movement in the age of seven.

- Results:
The
results showed that children who received breast milk in the 28 days
after birth as their primary source of nutrition they had a larger
volume of an important region for the treatment and the transmission of
nerve signals to other parts of the brain, and they had a better
performance on IQ tests and math and memory tests working, and function the movement.-
Many mothers find it difficult to provide breast milk for their babies
born before the deadline and those who are placed in prematurity rooms
for several days, we have to work hard to make sure that these mothers
to have the best possible support systems in place to provide for
children breast milk from the moment of birth to him the impact on the structure and function of the brain.
