Breast milk prevents babies from behavioral problems at later stage; see what study says

Breast milk is considered the best food for a newborn and it’s proved yet again by a report published in the journal Plos Medicine.

According to this report, babies who feed on their mother's milk for the first 6 months are less likely to require special educational needs (SEN) or behavioural problems. Researchers from the University of Glasgow examined data on the health and education of 191,745 children born in Scotland since 2004.

66.2% of the babies were formula fed for 6 to 8 weeks, 25.3% were breastfed and 8.5% were mix-fed. The study found that the ones who were mix-fed were about 10% less likely and the ones who breastfed were 20% less likely to develop SEN.
