Breastfeeding Linked to Intelligence
July 29, 2002
"What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impression." —Walter Pater
BREASTFEEDING LINKED TO INTELLIGENCE
Infants breastfed for seven to nine months grew up to be significantly smarter than those who were breastfed for shorter periods. This is a finding from a study conducted by Danish researchers reported in the July 2002 Work & Family Newsbrief (www.workfamily.com). Intelligence scores rose gradually for the 3,253 Danes in the study, the longer they had been breastfed as babies, with the average increase about six points. A member of the Danish research team, June Reinisch, suspects these results are due to a component in mother's milk that either protects the central nervous system or stimulates its development.
