I just got my special edition of Newsweek magazine about Your Child From
Birth to Three. There is a pretty good article about breastfeeding boosting a
child's IQ score. However, there is one line that baffles me: "It's potent
enough to keep babies alive for the first 16 weeks of life."

Surely, the author didn't mean WEEKS? Could people really believe breastmilk
could only keep a baby alive for 16 weeks?
