Melissa,
The research that I am familiar concerning breastmilk being related to higher
intelligence was based on premature babies fed either ABM or breastmilk, and
otherwise nurtured identically during this time.

As for the IQ scores for your father, self and son, I just want to caution
that IQ testing is very subjective and somewhat discriminatory, depending on
your racial background and experience.  Please don't place too much emphasis
on the very small sample of your father, self and son when most likely you
were not tested identically.  A much larger group is necessary to make a
point, and even then I don't buy IQ testing as the last word on true
intelligence.
