Breastfeeding is the best way to feed an infant. Not only does it supply the proper nutrition, but it also supports the development of the immune system, provides healthy microbiome, reduces risk of diseases, and brings down overall mortality (1). There are also benefits resulting from the ability of breastfeeding to suppress maternal ovarian function and to delay the next pregnancy. Birth spacing is an important predictor of infant mortality, maternal health, and, in an evolutionary perspective, maternal reproductive success.

母乳喂养是喂养婴儿的最佳方式。它不仅提供适当的营养，还支持免疫系统的发育，提供健康的微生物组，降低疾病风险，并降低总体死亡率 ( 1 )。母乳喂养还可以抑制母体卵巢功能并延迟下一次怀孕。出生间隔是婴儿死亡率、孕产妇健康以及从进化的角度来看孕产妇生殖成功的重要预测指标。
