Study shows why breastfed babies are so smart

Loads of studies over the years have shown that children who were breastfed score higher on IQ tests and perform better in school, but the reason why remained unclear. Again only this evening, I was watching marian anazodo's MOTHER CARES show on NTA where the invited Dr. Awosika anwered a question that its actually also true that parents who breastfed for longer times do have shrink.and flat tommy cos of the hormone called oxytocin that not only helps in milk production but also healing of the uterus and womb wateva................ so nairalanders, would you allow ur wife to breast feed for a whole one year? and the females in the house can u sacrifice a whole one year for d baby to feed on your bossom considering it.wld pay off in future? again is it the mother-baby bonding time, something in the milk itself or some unseen attribute of mothers who breastfeed their babies that could be attributed to this wonderful god-given blessing through the milk or there is more to this that man could comprehend? Need ur contribution pls as am thinking of compelling my wife to do this for me by 2016 when she puts to bed by God's grace hopefully....... cheers!

If both husband and wife are complete olodo, they can't turn their child to Albert Einstein by breastfeeding him for 3years. Genetics play a major role in a child's Intelligence quotient.

Several studies have previously linked breast feeding to later intelligence. But how breastfeeding confers its brainy benefits remains unclear. Researchers suspect that components of breast milk that may be missing from formula, such as the
omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) and the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (ARA), are essential for optimal brain growth.

a crazy woman can give birth to a genius. A child needs to meet the proper challenges to develop intellectually.
