Do y’all believe that breastfeeding really makes a child more intelligent?
I have read the statistics many times. I really don’t want to believe they’re true. I have a birth defect in which I could not breastfeed my babies. I sometimes feel bad about it even though there was nothing I could do to help it. I think a lot of factors go into a child’s intelligence. Besides breastfeeding as an infant, what about:
Nutrition after the child is weaned
Levels of Activity
Parental love, attention, and stimulation
Amounts of sleep
Other factors
What are y’all’s opinions?
My best friend is a Mensa member (she’s a genius) and she was never breastfed. Recent studies have shown that the early claims of higher IQ may not be that true. I wouldn’t worry.
