The latest research, released earlier this month, revealed that breastfed babies are less likely to have behavioural problems by the age of five than those given formula milk.
MSF said among those rescued, 97 people were under 18, 10 children were under five, and four babies were less than a year old, including the newborn.
That is the latest prescription for preventing childhood obesity, as written by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on studies that have found that children who were breast-fed extensively as babies were less likely to put on weight later in life.
They said a perception that breast-fed babies were less prone to blood pressure problems might have been fueled by a series of small, unreliable studies that tended to support the theory.
On the positive side, he said, the very low birth weight babies were less likely to smoke and drink in adulthood, although their reluctance to take risks could set them apart from their adolescent peers for whom risky behaviour was part of the normative process of growing up.
Compared with the rest of the cohort, these 12 babies were less likely to have had antenatal steroids (59% vs 90%) and were less mature (26 weeks vs 27 weeks).
So the long summer days might lead a baby's eyes to grow out of shape, leading them to lose their focus, while winter babies are less likely to need glasses as they grow up. .
Children who had been cooled as babies were less likely than those who had received standard treatment to have neurological abnormalities and performed better in tests of manual ability.
We know breastfed babies are less likely to develop unhealthy weights, to suffer from SIDS or to develop diabetes.
