Abstract
Using prospective data from 2 UK national birth cohorts (1946 and 1958), the feeding histories of those who later developed schizophrenia were compared with the remaining population at risk. There is no evidence of any effect of breastfeeding in protecting against the risk of later schizophrenia.
