[Feedback :- Increased mother–infant bonding is one of the major benefits of breastfeeding. There is a much lower rate of postnatal depression in mothers who successfully establish breastfeeding.]

[Feedback :- Infants who are exclusively breastfed have lower reported rates of asthma and eczema.]

D Reduced likelihood and severity of cows' milk protein allergy.

[Feedback :- Infants who are exclusively breastfed have lower reported rates of cows' milk protein allergy.]
