months.
In particular, breastfeeding may be
of concern because it has been
shown to be associated with both child's use
of antibiotics36, 37 and cow's milk allergy, although inconsistently so.38 In a large Finnish birth cohort, the median
durations of exclusive and total breastfeeding were 1.4
months and 7.0
months, respectively, and the proportion
of breastfed infants decreased from 95 % at the age
of 1
month to 58 % at the age
of 6
months.39 Another limitation is our reliance on pharmacy records, which provides only a rough estimation

shown to improve brain development at 5, 10 and 24
months.34 Fifth, there is growing evidence to suggest that the beneficial effects
of exclusive breastfeeding may be moderated by the infant's genome, 35,36 and the metabolism
of the fatty acids in maternal breast milk.37 For example, Krol et al. 36
showed that infants exclusively breastfed for a longer
duration (above the 50th percentile)
showed a heightened sensitivity and interest in a happy visual stimulus (eyes) than infants exclusively breastfed for a shorter
duration (below the 50th percentile).

duration of breast feeding, which was also related to child development at 13

Physiologic studies have demonstrated that, in general, swaddling decreases startling, 301 increases sleep
duration, and decreases spontaneous awakenings.310 Swaddling also decreases arousability (ie, increases cortical arousal thresholds) to a nasal pulsatile air - jet stimulus, especially in infants who are easily arousable when not swaddled but less so in infants who have high arousal thresholds when not swaddled.301 One study found decreased arousability in infants at 3
months of age who were not usually swaddled and then were swaddled but found no effect on arousability in routinely swaddled infants.301 In contrast, another group
of investigators
showed decreased arousal thresholds310 and increases in autonomic (subcortical) responses311 to an auditory stimulus when swaddled.
