Abstract: Implications for practice and research:
Cognitive development is enhanced with any breastfeeding, but more significantly with at least 4 months of breastfeeding.; Preterm infants may especially benefit from breastfeeding.;Studies using multi-ethnic participants should be conducted to see if the increase in cognitive ability shown in this study holds true among other ethnic groups.
