Kang, Sujeong; Choi, Naya – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Considerable studies have shown the protective effects of breastfeeding on internalizing problem behaviours in early childhood, yet little is known about the groundwork for this relationship. This study attempted to test the hypothesis that improvement of mothers' positive parenting behaviours by breastfeeding can explain the relationship. We used…
