Breast Feeding and Bed Wetting Correlation?
New studies are showing that breast feeding may benefit babies in one more positive way that was as of yet not talked about. It has been found that kids that were breast fed as small infants are actually less likely to have a bed wetting problem later on.
Further, they are surmising that this is because they were given a “developmental edge” over babies who were not breastfed as infants, who may be more prone to bed wetting issues.
The interesting part is the correlation between bed wetting and a delayed or lacking neurodevelopment (nervous and brain in other words) and breast feeding a baby helps to encourage faster and more efficient neurodevelopment.
While these hypthoses sound plausible, there have not been any direct cause and effect studies done on this, but most parties are in agreement as to the reasons why breast feeding helps with bed wetting likelihood down the line.
