Will children have a higher IQ if they are breastfed?
Well, at the very least it shows that the breastfeeding mother is smarter.
For breastfeeding babies.
By breastfeeding them.
Babies typically drink faster from the bottle because it requires less effort that breastfeeding.
Women have breasts for breastfeeding their babies.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that fussy babies are smarter than calm babies. Baby temperament does not determine intelligence.
Nipple confusion is a real concern for breastfeeding babies. It can happen when a baby switches between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, leading to difficulty latching onto the breast. This can cause frustration for both the baby and the mother, making breastfeeding more challenging.
Probably.
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.
I am sadly very sorry to admit to you that the future babies will probably get stupider.
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.
