Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text states that while studies suggest breast-feeding has benefits, these correlations do not prove causality. Therefore, it is suggested that breast milk may have benefits compared to bottle-feeding, but it cannot be definitively said that breast milk is clearly superior. The text does not state that breast milk has no benefits or that its benefits are limited to only 6 months.
