(GreenMedInfo.com) Researchers from Sweden’s Umeå University have determined that breastfeeding increases a certain species of oral bacteria, and these oral bacteria inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria that infect gums and cause dental decay.
The researchers tested 133 infants who were born through vaginal delivery. The researchers conducted saliva and oral bacteria sampling on the infants after four months of age. Of the total group, 40 of the infants were breastfed, while 90 were fed by formula.
Of those fed by formula, 43 were given standard breastmilk formula while the rest were given a formula supplemented with milk fat globule membrane fractions.

The researchers then analyzed the oral cavity sampling and found that about a third (34%) of the breastfed babies’ saliva contained significant lactobacilli counts – meaning strains of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus.
