Sammanfattning
In this first of two reviews, the focus is on the effect of breastfeeding on the immune system and the central nervous system. Human milk contains immune factors that protect the child against infections and stimulate the child's own immune system. This could explain the fact that breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk of certain allergic disorders, celiac disease, type 1-diabetes and inflammatory bowel diseases. Furthermore, breastfed infants have a better visual acuity during infancy and a slightly better cognitive function later in life.
