Breast-fed babies may grow up to be smarter adults, according to research that bolsters the evidence linking nursing and intelligence.

In their study of 3,253 Danish men and women, the more babies were breast-fed through nine months of age, the higher they scored on intelligence tests in their late teens and 20s. Breast-feeding past nine months had no additional effect on scores.

Well, looks like I've got 22 years of catching up to do.

SHOW ME THE BOOBIES!!!!!!!!!

Look on the bright side... now you can blame your parents for everything that goes wrong in your life!

j/k

 

[Cattlegod]

that is a crap conclusion

who is to say that the parents who decided to breast feed were smarter in general, therefore passing their genes to the child who is inturn more intelligent.

In america 61% of babies are breastfed for 6 mos at 9 mos that number drops to 31%... we have a lot of available resources and tremendous social pressure to stop breastfeeding at what is actually a very early age.... In the rest of the world the average child is breastfed till 3-4 years of age....

It is entirely possible to raise a healthy child without breastfeeding at all.... however, the humans have been adapting to being breastfed for what we may consider to be a long... It's what's natural for us...

just a theory from a teenager but here it goes

perhaps it has something to do with the anti-biotic type substance contained in breast milk, breast milk is partly made of dead bacteria which the mother has killed off before, by the baby drinking that milk it builds up a stronger immunity. with babies crawlin around they are exposed to lots of bacteria and such, perhaps the babies with the resistance to germs could use more energy on brain development and less on just trying to keep itself alive from invading bacteria.

i dunno. i got boobies as a kid

I think you read that article wrong, chief. It didn't say that the parents were smarter and passed their genes.

We also have to find out breast fed baby is smarter than baby who fed by breast milk.

Why?

For the breast fed baby, Mom must spent more time with the baby. When a mom could spent time feeding the babies, she probably will spend time doing some early teaching, read, sing or whatever.

If you feed the baby by breast milk, someone can help you do the job. You could hire someone just to feed the baby but do nothing else. So if we could find a comparision between baby fed by mom and baby who fed by someone else, we might know what is the real reason behind that result.

Well, I wrote a paper on this subject recently that I deleted sorry... The information is referenced allegorically on many sites about breastfeeding but none that I could find (though good sites) were credible enough to post as a source. If you're interested you may wish to contact your local La Leche League.

The majority of info I could find (at time of posting... and I remember struggling with this derth of long term studies when writing my paper) statistics of children world wide who are under a year of age. see here
