This week is world breast-feeding week and while it can be demanding, health experts say it’s well worth the effort.

Doctors say it helps your baby’s brain develop.

Studies show children who are breast fed also have higher intelligence scores.

Babies who are breast-fed for at least six months also have fewer health problems according to doctors.

“Many studies and research show that breast-fed babies, they’re at lower risk of having diseases as asthma, allergies, diabetes, any immune deficiency problems,” said Dr. Hanan Nashed, Cleveland Clinic.

It’s also comforting to your baby and creates a bond between the two of you.

But researchers caution there’s only an association between the two.

So they can’t guarantee that spicing up your diet would actually extend your life.
