Babies that are breastfed for six months without introducing formulas are likely to have fewer ear infections, bouts of diarrhea and respiratory illnesses. Breastfeeding also makes the visits to the doctor few. According to pediatricians, the more you breastfeed, the lower the risk of ear infections.
