“…A previous study also found that infants who were exclusively breastfed had larger head circumferencefor-age values than those who were formula-fed or mixed-fed, 29 while another study found that head circumference did not differ by feeding mode. 30 A meta-analysis indicated that breastfeeding was associated with significantly higher scores for cognitive development.…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) throughout this period as the ideal nutrition for child development and growth (2) . Monitoring children's growth in terms of head circumference at regular intervals makes it possible to determine whether cerebral development is within normal limits, since there is a strong correlation between head circumference growth and cerebral development (3)(4)(5)(6) . Studies support the hypothesis that human milk can make a difference to head circumference growth, due to the nutrients it contains, including iron and polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids which contribute to brain development (3,7) .…”

Studies support the hypothesis that human milk can make a difference to head circumference growth, due to the nutrients it contains, including iron and polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids which contribute to brain development (3,7) . Head circumference growth in children breastfed for long periods may be associated with improved psychomotor and mental development (3) .…”
