Breast-Fed Children Smarter, Study Finds

[Dianah194]

A new study provides some of the best evidence to date that breast-feeding can make children smarter, an international team of researchers .

Children whose mothers breast-fed them longer and did not mix in baby formula scored higher on intelligence tests.

Are you surprised by this study?

nope my 2-year old was breast fed for his first year and a week and he's very smart, although i may be bias. he knows the different types of helicopters here on post and that really surprises a lot of people.

I don't doubt the study, but my teenaged kids both only got breast fed for about 3 months ea. and then they started refusing me. So on to the bottle!

Today they are both straight A students, and in the advanced cl***es at school. The youngest is also in the International Baccalaureate program and hopes to begin college as a Sophomore skipping her freshman year. So I must say, not ALL bottle fed kids are deficient! ;-) Thank goodness...
