Booby Good for the Brain....well, duh!

Thanks to my hubby for forwarding me this great article. Any BF-ing advocate can give you study after study of increased test scores being attributed to breastfed babies, as many a new story have already spouted. This study, though, done at the University of Colorado & American University, is a tad different in that it shows the incremental benefit of each month of continued breastfeeding on both high school exam scores and college attendance levels. The comparison is made between siblings, so that variables such as socioeconomic status and parenting style are taken out of the equation. Its really quite interesting and just another reason I feel happy to do extended breastfeeding with our son.
