Abstract

In the rush to find nutrient alternatives to breastfeeding, a theme that dominated research on infant feeding throughout the twentieth century, only recently have new findings that reconfirm the importance of breastfeeding for maternal and child health begun to influence medical texts and health policy. Approximately 30 years of increasingly rigorous and positive research findings have led to the rediscovery of breastfeeding as a valid and evidence-based health intervention for infants. Unfortunately, because much of the research was designed to assess human milk as a nutrient replacement for infant formula, the literature on the effects of breastfeeding on maternal health remain limited. Nonetheless, a clear pattern of positive physiologic changes that lead to improved short-term and long-term health sequelae are emerging. All patients and their families should be informed fully as to the positive preventive health effects of breastfeeding not only for infants but also for mothers. Women have many difficult choices to make; it behooves physicians to ensure that they receive all of the facts on which to base these decisions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
