Abstract: Background: Human milk has been linked to enhanced brain development, yet evidence of comprehensive research regarding the effects of Human Milk on Neurocognitive outcomes is lacking. This paper aims to fill that gap by systematically examining the influence of Breast milk on Neurocognitive functioning. Objective: To provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of human milk on neurocognitive development, to inform pediatric care practices, parental counselling and recommendations to enhance research credibility in the area. Methodology: This systematic review was conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, MDPI, SCI, and CLIB for studies published between 2021 and 2025 using predefined keywords. Eligible designs included randomised controlled trials, cohort and cross-sectional studies, longitudinal analyses, secondary data reviews, and peer-reviewed narrative reviews. Only English-language human studies were included; animal studies and conference abstracts were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened and assessed the studies for inclusion. Results: Twenty studies met the criteria. Across various methodologies, human milk intake has consistently shown a positive association with neurocognitive outcomes. Reported benefits included better Early Childhood Development scores, higher IQ scores, improved white matter integrity, greater hippocampal grey matter volume, higher power spectral density, and favourable overall brain structural measures. Conclusion: While current evidence supports Breastfeeding as a positive influence on neurodevelopment, further high-quality, longitudinal studies are needed to disentangle biological effects from sociodemographic factors and to clarify the long-term impact into adolescence and adulthood.
