Association between breastfeeding duration and neurodevelopment in Chinese children aged 2 to 3 years
Objective
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between breastfeeding duration and neurodevelopment in children aged 2 to 3 years in a Chinese population.
Methods
This study was based on a cross-sectional survey. The data were from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey for children in China which was conducted from 2019 to 2020. Characteristics of parents and children and the breastfeeding duration were obtained using interview-administered questionnaires. Children’s neuropsychological development was assessed by a trained child health care physician using the Child Psychological Development Scale. A multivariable linear regression model was used to analyze the association between breastfeeding duration and neuropsychological development.
Results
A total 1290 children aged 2–3 years were included in the present analysis. In multivariable linear regression models, after adjustment for potential confounders, children who were breastfed for 7–12 months had a 3.59-point increase in gross motor development (β = 3.59; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.23 to 6.34), a 3.73-point increase in fine motor development (β = 3.73; 95 % CI: 1.09 to 6.47), and a 2.87-point in language development (β = 2.87; 95 % CI: 1.12 to 5.31) compared with those who were never breastfed. Children who were breastfed for > 12 months had a 3.77-point increase in fine motor development (β = 3.77; 95 % CI: 0.98 to 6.86) compared with those who were never breastfed.
Conclusions
Longer breastfeeding duration was associated with increased gross motor, fine motor, and language scores in our study population. Mothers in China should be encouraged to initiate and continue breastfeeding.
期刊介绍:
Infant Behavior & Development publishes empirical (fundamental and clinical), theoretical, methodological and review papers. Brief reports dealing with behavioral development during infancy (up to 3 years) will also be considered. Papers of an inter- and multidisciplinary nature, for example neuroscience, non-linear dynamics and modelling approaches, are particularly encouraged. Areas covered by the journal include cognitive development, emotional development, perception, perception-action coupling, motor development and socialisation.
