Alright guys and girls,

Convince me that breastfeeding allows for higher IQ scores.  I have seen a few,
and I mean few, bits and pieces of information that suggests this but I, to be
quite honest, don't buy it.   Who is in the sample?  Where did they comefrom?
Genetics?  All of this and more I have yet to find out.

Based on personal experience:

My Dad has 151  was breastfeed, exclusively
I tested at 146 and was fed ABM, exclusively
My son tested at 141 he was fed ABM, exclusively;

you may be able to convince me that IQ can go down but surely it would be
indicative of loss of contact and stimulation not components of the "milk," and
I use the term loosely, in the feeding?

I know I am asking for it on this one, but I really would appreciated more
citation/refs on this one.

Who is in no way promoting ABM in connection with anything I have said!
