Also notice that preemie babies were not included in the study. It has
always been the preemies where the distinction appears greater and where
amount of breastmilk is more easily defined and measured. It's a good
population for future study with careful distinction of maternal
intelligence as it's more frequent that one who planned to breastfeed ends
up not being able to, or not in the beginning, and one who did not plan to
breastfeed was encouraged into providing her milk for delicate preemie.
Many studies have used "intention to breastfeed," versus those who
actually did or not as an attempt to reduce the confounding of maternal
qualities. These efforts were not viewed in the current study.
Obviously measurements of EBF versus none will show different results.
And what of the ABM companies' efforts to bring FF infant cognitive
development up to that of EBF, now via DHA and ARA? Will these studies and
added ingredients end because there "is not difference?" Will we hear
suggestions that ABM will increase IQ whereas EBM will not?
