The results from these recent studies demonstrate that breastfeeding has a much larger role to play in maintaining physical and mental health than we have previously believed. It's not just the milk. Because breastfeeding increases maternal responsivity, it makes the day-to-day experience of mothering more tolerable. It increases the chances that the babies will be securely attached and will not have their stress and inflammatory response systems chronically up-regulated. Breastfeeding is so much more than just a method of feeding. It's a way of caring for a baby that will provide a lifetime's worth of good health because it provides a way for mothers to connect with their babies, even if they did not experience that kind of care themselves. In short, breastfeeding can make the world a happier and healthier place, one mother and baby at a time.
这些近期研究的结果表明，母乳喂养在维持身心健康方面所起的作用比我们此前认为的要大得多。这不仅仅是因为母乳。由于母乳喂养会增强母亲的反应能力，它会让日常育儿体验更易于承受。这增加了婴儿形成安全依恋关系的可能性，并且不会使其压力和炎症反应系统长期处于上调状态。母乳喂养远不止是一种喂养方式。它是一种关爱婴儿的方式，能带来一生的健康，因为它为母亲提供了与婴儿建立联系的途径，即便她们自己未曾经历过那种关爱。简而言之，母乳喂养能让世界变得更幸福、更健康，每次惠及一位母亲和一个婴儿。
