Although children who are breastfed have better neurodevelopmental outcomes, whether this is a biological or nutritional effect, an environmental effec, a genetic effect or some combination of these factors is unclear, Because a randomized trial comparing breast milk with formula is impossible, investigators must rely on observational studies, which crates methodologic difficulties. Potential confounding variables must be identified and addressed. Woman who choose to breastfeed tend to have attributes, such as a higher level of education, that are associated with better developmental outcome; however, evidence also supports a biological or nutritional role. The role of human milk in neuro- developmental outcome, with emphasis on visual and cognitive outcome in term and preterm infants, is reviewed.
