News reaching us from researchers found that among 44 babies with a particular autism “risk” gene, those who were breast-fed longer spent more time looking at images of “happy” eyes and shied away from “angry” eyes.
However experts stressed that the study offers no evidence that breast-feeding ultimately affects a child’s odds of developing autism, or that it lessens the severity of autism symptoms.
Long-term studies are “absolutely required” to answer those questions, said lead researcher Kathleen Krol, of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, in Leipzig, Germany.
At first, it appeared that all babies who’d been exclusively breast-fed for a longer period around six months, on average had a stronger preference for the happy eyes, versus babies who’d been breast-fed for a shorter time.
But when the researchers took a deeper look, that was true only of babies with the autism risk gene. The longer they’d been breast-fed, the more they preferred happy eyes and turned away from angry eyes.
