For infants, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months can lower the likelihood of sudden infant death syndrome, as well as decrease hospitalizations related to respiratory infections and severe diarrhea. These findings highlight the importance of breastfeeding in promoting better health outcomes and potentially reducing healthcare costs.
