“EXPECTANT mothers are to be told they should breastfeed children up to the age of two in a bid to boost the health and IQs of Scottish children.”
“Recent research suggests that women who breastfeed are at lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Their babies are at lower risk of a range of health problems than those fed on formula. Breast milk is believed to protect against the risk of cot death, childhood leukaemia, gastroenteritis, obesity, asthma, eczema, ear infections and diabetes.”
