I feel that it is asking too much of breastfeeding to have an lasting
impact
on human behavior. Breastfeeding does give a person the best chance at
survival.

i'd love to see one done on tandem (or triple !) nursing different
aged sibs. i'm convinced it is almost the single largest factor in
eliminating any ill-will or aggressiveness toward our newborns . i'm
always so surprised when going to a new mom's home and hearing them
say they can't leave new baby alone in the room w/ toddler b/c toddler
is too aggressive toward newborn. come to think of it tho, i do have
to avoid leaving newborns w/ toddlers as well, but for a different
reason: suffocation risk as toddlers (boy or girl!) will try to
breastfeed the newborn at the slightest whimper !
