Prolonged and Exclusive Breastfeeding Reduces the Risk of Infectious Diseases in Infancy
PEDIATRICS Vol. 126 No. 1 July 2010, pp. e18-e25
 
CONCLUSIONS Exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 4 months and partially thereafter was associated with a significant reduction of respiratory and gastrointestinal morbidity in infants. Our findings support health-policy strategies to promote exclusive breastfeeding for at least 4 months, but preferably 6 months, in industrialized countries. 

But we already knew this....studies that reinforce it are always an extra bonus.
