Breast milk 'does not boost IQ'
Breastfed babies are smarter because their mothers are clever in the
first place, not because of any advantage of breastfeeding itself, a
study suggests. Researchers found breastfeeding mothers tended to be
more intelligent, more highly educated, and likely to provide a more
stimulating home environment.
This is the same study posted before (easily
found with a little googling). Again, while it is an
interesting study, there are other studies that have
controlled for maternal intelligence that have come
up with different results. I think the jury is still
out on this one.
