 The study found that exclusive breastfeeding among infants zero to five months of age, and any breastfeeding among infants and young children six to 23 months of age are associated with a protective effect against diarrhea incidents, prevalence, hospitalizations, diarrhea mortality, and all-cause mortality. The study also found that not breastfeeding resulted in an excess risk of diarrhea mortality in comparison to exclusive breastfeeding among infants zero to five months of age, and any breastfeeding among children aged six to 23 months. These findings support the current WHO recommendation for exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life as a key child survival intervention, and highlight the importance of breastfeeding to protect against diarrhea-specific morbidity and mortality throughout the first two years of life.
