Breast-fed babies are more successful in life, despite

mom's social status

Breast-fed babies have a stronger ability to go up the

social ladder than those given cow's milk, a new study

says, and the longer a baby is breast-fed, the better

chances it will have to succeed.

 

The study drew on the success and failures of 1,414

U.K. babies born in the 1920s and 1930s, a population

now in their seventies. The study, to be published

soon in the Archives of Diseases of Childhood,

suggests that the children who were breast-fed were 41

percent more likely to rise up at least one level in

the social ladder compared to others who were fed

cow's milk, the only alternative at the time.

 

A study in the Lancet, a British medical journal,

suggests that breastfeeding raises a preterm babies'

IQ by up to 5 points, and other studies have

correlated breastfeeding with higher intelligence, but

the findings contradict other research: a study from

the Medical Research Council published in 2006

indicate breast-fed babies had a higher level of

intelligence not from the milk but from other factors

like a more active and stimulating home environment.

 

" One of the most consistent findings in the published

literature on the long-term impact of infant-feeding

is that breastfeeding is associated with improved

neurocognitive development, which could influence

future educational and occupational success and hence

social mobility " the researchers wrote in the study.

 

Consumer health advocate Mike Adams said that the

natural nutrients found in breastfeeding make it an

optimal choice.

 

" Although few people will say the obvious, what's

really happening here is that cow's milk impairs the

intelligence of babies, " Adams, author of the book

Grocery Warning, said. " Human breastmilk contains the

nutrition to build healthy, peak-performance nervous

systems and cognitive function in human beings, and

milk intended for cows simply lacks that nutrition. "

 

" Mothers who feed their infants cow's milk are, in

effect, making it more difficult for their children to

succeed in life, " he added.

 

The lead researcher of the University of Bristol

study, epidemiologist Richard Martin, said one caveat

is that while breast-fed babies moved up the social

ladder more than their bottle-fed counterparts, both

groups were capable of doing so: half of the

bottle-fed babies moved up the social ladder, but

nearly 6 out of 10 of breast-fed babies did the same

thing.

 

Among British women, 76 percent do breastfeed when a

baby is born, but most wean their children to bottles

within the first four months.
