I would love to see that in a study! We would just be getting in to the time where we can do it as well I think. It would be a powerful message to be able to say "breastfed babies live longer than formula-fed babies."<br />(Not meaning to cause any offense to or guilt in those who formula fed their children)JBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562988720860185892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-27666957124310969772013-04-11T10:22:57.910+01:002013-04-11T10:22:57.910+01:00Quick W.M.F better get emailing the Mongolians (an...Quick W.M.F better get emailing the Mongolians (and numerous other cultures that breastfed until the child self weans!) that they're at risk http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2010/12/is-breastfeeding-six-year-old-ok-er.html<br /><br />You might also find http://www.kathydettwyler.org/detwean.html interesting<br /><br />Furthermore from Kellymom:<br />Breastfeeding contributes to your child’s MENTAL and SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT<br /><br />A couple of studies have shown a positive relationship between longer breastfeeding duration and social development.<br />– Duazo 2010, Baumgartner 1984<br /> “A shorter duration of breastfeeding may be a predictor of adverse mental health outcomes throughout the developmental trajectory of childhood and early adolescence.”<br />– Oddy 2010<br />According to Elizabeth N. Baldwin, Esq. in “Extended Breastfeeding and the Law”:<br />“Breastfeeding is a warm and loving way to meet the needs of toddlers and young children. It not only perks them up and energizes them; it also soothes the frustrations, bumps and bruises, and daily stresses of early childhood. In addition, nursing past infancy helps little ones make a gradual transition to childhood.“<br />Baldwin continues: “Meeting a child’s dependency needs is the key to helping that child achieve independence. And children outgrow these needs according to their own unique timetable.” Children who achieve independence at their own pace are more secure in that independence then children forced into independence prematurely.<br />http://kellymom.com/ages/older-infant/ebf-benefits/#social<br /><br />How many people do you know breastfed until 5 or older and how many people have "Dependent Personality Disorder" and other self disorders such as narcism"? My guess would be you would struggle to find enough of the first to form a decent study in the UK/US, yet I'm sure you could find many of the latter! <br />AAAnalytical Armadillo IBCLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829027807809292649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-80254157821587355692013-04-11T05:22:05.177+01:002013-04-11T05:22:05.177+01:00Assuming your findings are replicated,this may be ...Assuming your findings are replicated,this may be god news and support adding Vitamin D with breast feeding. I am amazed some women continue to breast feed up to age five or longer. This only leads to a dependency inculcated in one of the most important development phases. I want to see longitudinal studies regarding the correlation with breast feeding into latency and adult Personality Disorder called "Dependent Personality Disorder" and other self disorders such as narcism. I support breast feeding but not past the very early years. The youthful human does need to learn mastery and if you don't think we are on the Serengeti anymore - look at the jungle called Wall Street and elementary increased cases of "bulling."W. M.

I had not heard about this before.<br /><br />While I'm here, are you aware of any research that explores beyond the 10 months in the 1999 research you mentioned? I'm just curious if this effect continues (to some degree) as long as breastfeeding continues, into toddler or childhood, say? Or if, because the number of breastfeeds per day tend to slowly decrease with the age of the child, the effect of extended breastfeeding is not as significant?<br /><br />Thanks again, I love your blog :)Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-45342519057439597172011-07-11T21:11:42.741+01:002011-07-11T21:11:42.741+01:00Great post! xGreat post! xHulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279427115639763705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-22087761912088323592011-07-11T20:52:43.333+01:002011-07-11T20:52:43.333+01:00This is so informative, thankyou. xThis is so informative, thankyou. xEilidhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692259629359892031noreply@blogger.com
