The Millennium Cohort Study from the United Kingdom showed the bene fi t of exclusive breastfeeding in the prevention of gastrointestinal or chest infection in over 15 000 infants. 2 In preterm and very low birth weight newborns, population studies on breastmilk showed lower risks of late-onset sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). 3 There are emerging data on the long-term effect of breastmilk on cardiovascular health.
