The risk of diabetes is half to the mother who has been breastfeeding for more than six months.

Those mothers who breastfeed for six months or more, the risk of type 2 diabetes decreases to about half. It is revealed in a research.

Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine said that after women become mothers who breastfeed for six months or more, the risk of type 2 diabetes decreases to 47 percent. For six months or more, the risk of breastfeeding is reduced to about half of the risk of type 2 diabetes. It is revealed in a research.

Senior research scientist Erica P Gunderson said in America's healthcare company Care Permanent, "We have found that there is a very strong relationship between the duration of breastfeeding and the risk of diabetes."

The researchers analyzed the data collected during the follow up of the 30 years of coronary artery risk development in young adult research.

The conclusion of the research further strengthens the fact that breastfeeding is beneficial for both mother and child.
