studies have revealed protective effects

study, which distinguished between infectious diseases until and from the age

study.24 Although the
authors used exclusive breastfeeding for 3 months as the reference group, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months reduced the risk
of gastrointestinal tract infections between the ages
