The media coverage has been extraordinary. However, I've already seen one
report that picked up on the 9 month bit. The headline read something like
"Breastfeeding up to seven months raises IQ" or something like that. Sorry I
can't lay my hands on it. At the time I had a little tingle of "oh oh."

Will we see people saying "I stopped breastfeeding at 7 months because Id
didn't want the IQ to drop?

If I recall the study, (and I'm not on my home computer so I can't check)
there were two different intelligence tests used, does the other test show a
similar drop?
