I think the mention of the article regarding breastfeeding and “high” grades is somewhat misleading. The study found that breastfed infants DO achieve “highER” grades, however the difference was less than .02%. Same with breastfed children being accepted into college at greater rates, the rate was less than .015%.

Yah I agree Colleen. They didn’t even say if the results were statistically significant. My assumption is that they are, but barely. There are lots of good reasons to breast feed if you’re able, but I wouldn’t add better grades to that list.
