Every drop counts : Manitoba research shows even a few tries at breastfeeding improves a toddlers blood pressure

  WINNIPEG A study done using data from Manitoba moms and babies is showing lower blood pressure in three-year-olds who were breastfed even only a few times. The research, which was published in The Journal of the American Heart Association, shows breastfed toddlers, no matter the duration, had blood pressure measurements that were four points lower on average than babies who were not breastfed at all. Any breastfeeding at all, whether it was two days, two weeks, two months, two years we found these lower blood pressure levels at three years of age compared to babies who truly never got any breast milk, said University of Manitoba Associate Professor in Pediatrics and Child Health Meghan Azad, who is also one of the authors of this study.
