Breastfeeding for at least 2 months in newborn babies has been reported to reduce the risk of sudden infant death (SIDS) by almost half.

The results of 8 international studies were examined in which 6,994 babies in the control group and 2 thousand 259 sudden infant death cases were examined by scientists from the University of Virginia Medical School.

The research showed that mother's breastfeeding for at least 2 months reduced the risk of SIDS by almost half. Scientists also stressed that breastfeeding for less than 2 months did not have such an effect.

Kawai Tanabe, research scientist at the research team, said, "The results are very strong, and our study showed that infants who were breastfed for at least 2 months had a significantly reduced risk of dying from SIDS." expression.

Sudden infant deaths occur most frequently in infants aged 1 month to 1 year.
