Interesting......a new study shows breastfed babies seem to have stronger leg muscles as adolenscents. It makes sense that benefits would last beyond infancy.
"The study authors also found the kids who were breastfed, either exclusively or in combination with formula, were more likely to jump higher than kids who were fed only formula, regardless of factors like sex, height, weight or current amount of muscle mass.
The study revealed even kids who were breastfed only for a few months after birth benefited more than their formula-fed peers. The kids who breastfed for three to five months performed just as well as the kids who nursed for six months or more."
