The findings come from the largest and most detailed analysis to quantify levels, trends, and benefits of breastfeeding around the world.
The authors said that, although breastfeeding is one of the most effective preventive health measures for children and mothers, regardless of where they live, it has been overlooked as a critical need for the health of the population.
The paper is an analysis of data from 28 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, of which 22 were commissioned specifically for the two-part series that has been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust.
The findings indicated that breastfeeding has dramatic effects on life expectancy, as well as multiple health benefits for children and mothers.
Royal College of Midwives professional policy advisor Janet Fyle said: "This report underpins and reinforces why breastfeeding is the most appropriate method of providing nutrition for a baby. It also highlights the pressing need to promote and increase the uptake of breastfeeding in the UK and globally.
"It is one of the most important markers of an individual’s future health and wellbeing, as it confers important health benefits. This is why health services need to make greater efforts to encourage new mothers to breastfeed and for longer. This can be facilitated through better support, considerate maternity leave and strengthening policies and legislative framework that enables women to breastfeed when out and about.
"Breastfeeding lays the foundations for an individual’s future health and wellbeing and brings great benefits for society as a whole in terms of reduced spending on ill health. This also highlights the importance of good postnatal support and access to midwives to give women the help they need to establish and continue breastfeeding."
