Breastfed children have higher IQ, says study

Children who are breastfed after birth are smarter than those who aren't. According to the world's largest study on lactation and intelligence, that followed 17,046 children for six and a half years from birth, children whose mothers exclusively breastfed them during the first year of life had consistently higher IQ and an improved cognitive (thinking, learning and memory) development.
