Intelligence does not play a part in why a country is "developed" or not. And it's slightly xenophobic for you to suggest otherwise. Please don't argue on intelligence until you can use proper grammar. Huge pet peeve.

Because most likely neither formula nor breastfeeding effect intelligence: education and parental intelligence are far, far more important. Also, mothers that breastfeed are more likely to do so because they are concerned about such things as their child's intelligence - in other words, these are parents who make the effort to stimulate their children and care for their health in general. I'm sure where formula and breastfed infants are measured against parental involvement/concern, the results will be equal. if breastfeeding is so important for intelleigence than why are the most advanced nations the very same that formula feed the most and undeveloped where breast-feeding is the only recourse so intellectually undeveloped?

I've used that pic twice now (once on my other blog) because it's so great. Right when I saw it I thought of making my 16mo laugh when he's BFing. He giggles, but he also *must* keep the nipple in his mouth. This photo always makes me hear his laugh. I know! I’ve used that pic twice now (once on my other blog) because it’s so great.
