Among the studies show that children have a lower risk of infection than non-breastfed infants are as follows:
A 1995 study of 87 infants found that breastfed babies had half the incidence of diarrheal diseases, 19% fewer cases of otitis media infections, and less than 80% of prolonged episodes of otitis media that the babies milk during the first year of life.
Breastfeeding appears to reduce symptoms of respiratory infections in premature babies at seven months after hospital discharge in a 2002 study of 39 babies.
In 2004, the study found that breastfeeding reduces the risk of urinary tract infections in children up to seven months of age, where protection is strongest immediately after birth.
In 2007, it was found that breastfeeding reduces the risk of acute otitis media, gastroenteritis, non-specific and less severe respiratory infections.
