- Abstract
Breast milk, with nutritional but also functional components, is a real biologi-cal system. According to present knowledge, it is associated not only with improved parameters of growth, but also to a better neuronal-behavioral develop-ment.The importance of breastfeeding and the increasing evidence about the risks of not doing so has put the support, promo-tion, and protection of breastfeeding at the forefront of many government and public health policies. The use of resources and the effort to promote and support breastfeeding should be the first investment for the health of children around the world.
