Abstract

• This study showed that prolonged infant feeding with breast milk, at least >8 months, is associated with lower A1C levels in children exposed to GDM . • Neither exclusive breastfeeding duration nor the timing of solid food introduction was associated with glycemic or anthropometric profile of children. • These results suggest that the impact of in utero exposure to GDM can be partly attenuated by prolonged breastfeeding duration during early life.
