據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，《公共科學(xué)圖書(shū)館醫(yī)學(xué)期刊》（PLOS medical journal）21日刊登一項(xiàng)研究指出，新生兒前6個(gè)月純母乳喂養(yǎng)，在小學(xué)階段會(huì)有較好的行為表現(xiàn)。

　　據(jù)報(bào)道，這項(xiàng)在南非進(jìn)行的研究針對(duì)1500多名學(xué)童進(jìn)行評(píng)估，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)7到11歲兒童在嬰兒時(shí)期母乳喂養(yǎng)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短，與行為異常跡象相關(guān)聯(lián)。

　　研究指出，在出生6個(gè)月內(nèi)只吃母乳與食用母乳不到1個(gè)月的學(xué)童相較下，前者展現(xiàn)行為異常的機(jī)率低了56%；而前者符合世界衛(wèi)生組織（WHO）的建議。

　　研究人員羅沙特（Tamsen Rochat）稱，純母乳喂養(yǎng)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短對(duì)嬰兒很多方面發(fā)育的重要性，超過(guò)了先前的了解。

　　Children breastfed exclusively for their first six months of life have an easier time behaving as primary school students, according to new research published Tuesday.

　　Carried out in South Africa, the study assessed more than 1,500 children and found a strong link between how long they were breastfed and signs of behavioral disorders between the ages of seven and 11.

　　Children fed only breast milk for their first six months -- as recommended by the World Health Organization -- were 56 percent less likely to exhibit such disorders than those breastfed for less than one month, found the study published in the PLOS medical journal.
