How about: T/F Research on non-human primates suggests that the natural age of weaning (complete cessation of breastfeeding) in modern humans would be between 2.5 and 7.0 years of age. T/F In "traditional" cultures around the world, children are routinely breastfed for 3 to 4 years. T/F For each month of exclusive breastfeeding, the risk of dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is reduced by half. T/F Breastfeeding her children lowers a mother's risk of breast cancer, and also protects her breastfed daughters from breast cancer in adulthood. All of the above are True, of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
