Last but not least, breast-feeding provides many less-tangible benefits to mother and child alike. “It helps them bond in a very powerful way,” says pediatrician Lee Beers, MD, of Children’s National Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., who was not involved in the study. “Mother Nature knows what she is doing.”
Dr. Ogbuanu and her colleagues looked at a nationally representative group of 6,150 women who are participating in a long-term child-development study run by the National Center for Education Statistics. Each woman gave birth to a single child in 2001 and worked in the year before giving birth.
Roughly 70% of the women breast-fed their newborn. In general, the researchers found, the longer the mothers delayed returning to work, the more likely they were to breast-feed, and for a greater period of time.
