This news article on the same study I mentioned earlier is quite amusing. See the line in bold.

“At the age of 6½, children who had been exclusively breastfed scored 7.5 points higher in verbal intelligence tests and 5.9 points higher in overall IQ tests. Teachers also rated the breastfed children better at reading, writing and mathematics.”

“Doctors could not rule out the possibility that breastfeeding women were simply brighter, or were likely to interact more with their children.”

“Our study provides the strongest evidence to date that prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding makes kids smarter.”
