BETHESDA, Md., April 21 (UPI) -- Mothers who feed their babies breast milk exclusively -- no formula -- are more likely than others to bond emotionally with their child, U.S. researchers say.
Lead researcher Dr. Pilyoung Kim, of the National Institute of Mental Health, part of the National Institutes of Health, and colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging to map the brain's responses when the mothers were breastfeeding.
