This week's TIME Magazine contains the letters sent in response to the cover
story about baby's brain development.  They printed ONE (1) letter about the
issue of breastfeeding.  It was from Laura Haynes Collector, The
Breastfeeding Task Force of Greater Los Angeles, Irwindale, California.

She writes:

"You failed to note the critical role breast feeding (sic) plays in
optimizing a baby's brain power.  Mother's milk contains important building
blocks not found in any domestic infant formula.  Babies breast fed just one
month have an 8-point IQ advantage as kindergartners, and that figure rises
with extended breast feeding."

At least it's something.  We need to get Laura on LactNet!  Anyone in
Southern California know her phone number or e-mail?
