Will children have a higher IQ if they are breastfed?
No
Well, at the very least it shows that the breastfeeding mother is smarter.
By breastfeeding them.
For breastfeeding babies.
Babies typically drink faster from the bottle because it requires less effort that breastfeeding.
Women have breasts for breastfeeding their babies.
Probably.
It usually only occurs in women who are breastfeeding their babies.
Oxytocin also may be used to control bleeding after delivery or to help make the milk flow in women who are breastfeeding their babies.
Many, but not all, drugs do go into the milk of breastfeeding women.
There is no real set age when babies stop breastfeeding. It can be up to the mother, or the baby can ween his/herself. In my personal opinion, I would stop breastfeeding when the baby can eat solid food, and/or drink out of a cup. Or maybe even when he or she can say that they are thirsty. But every mother and baby are different.
I am sadly very sorry to admit to you that the future babies will probably get stupider.
The best time for breastfeeding moms to quit breastfeeding is a personal choice. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding only for the first six months and then introducing solid foods while continuing to breastfeed until the child reaches the age of one.
