Breast-fed babies get a boost on the social ladder, study suggests


· Survey of prewar babies links mobility with diet
· Mother's status seen as having little influence 

Sarah Hall, health correspondent

The Guardian 

Babies who are breast-fed are more likely to scale the social ladder than those who are fed with a bottle, research published yesterday suggests. 

Data drawing on children born in the 1920s and 1930s indicates that those who were breast-fed were 41% more likely to move up at least one social class than those who were fed cow's milk - the then alternative. The longer a child was breast-fed the greater its chances of upward social mobility.
