So you think babies are smarter with?

It literally makes no difference

I meant do you think babies are smarter with? My daughter got the phone and I didn't realize it

I agree with you, but I do think there are actual studies done to back up what he said

All 3 of my kids are in advanced classes and only drank formula. It DOES NOT matter

My niece was 3 and was reading books for 5 year olds this was 17 years ago and she wasnt breastfed it doesnt matter if breastfed or formula fed it depends on the parents and what they do with their children my little one is 1 next week and she is formula fed and even her health visitor has said she is advance for her age, she self taught herself dance moves that we have showed her like wind the bobbin up, so babies can be smart no matter how they get their milk

It doesn't make a difference. As long is baby is eating and getting the protein and vitamins they need (which are in both breastmilk and formula).

I think there's a much bigger picture than just how the child is fed and the world needs to stop worrying about what the next person is or isn't doing with their breasts

It makes a difference to immunity when young but I'd never think it affects intelligence or brain development. That begins in the womb and is related to maternal stressers and mother's diet during gestation. After that it depends on what's stimulating them like you said

No difference, it’s mainly genetics anyway. I was formula fed, rarely sick and very academic. My son was breastfed, sickly as a baby and behind his milestones compared to his combi fed sister. It’s pot luck.

No one asks world leaders and astronauts if their mum breastfed them.

Yes breastfeeding is very good ,you can’t lie about that it’s just a fact ,but a fed baby is best some moms literally have no choice.
Also babies born at a little higher weight might show positive stats in regards iq ,but all that being said ,iq has a lot to do with genetics .

There are scientific studies to back up his argument, lots to do with brain health due to specific components that are in breast milk, that can’t be duped in formula, but that doesn’t mean as a blanket BF children are more intelligent because you’re spot on, socioeconomic factors are also at play. It’s always genes vs socioeconomic factors, that’s what make scientific studies on development so nuanced.

My oldest son is really smart like he’s in a school that you need to have a certain GPA he’s going to have a college degree by the time he graduates in about three years and he was battle fed. There is studies that show that breast-feeding babies are more than likely to be smart however, that doesn’t mean all are just majority

There’s too many factors to intelligence to ever do a really credible study without confounding variables bc every pregnancy & childhood is different even with all possible to control variables controlled, just bc of the Schroeders cat element even just of ebf vs formula vs combo. Plenty of formula babies are very academically successful and plenty or not and vice versa progressive babies but if a baby is formula fed and they’re academically successful you don’t know if they would’ve been even more academically successful if they had been for VF and for babies that struggle to our breasted you don’t know if it would be even worse if they were formula you can’t so it’s kind of amuse point and I think that most parents who formula feed are not doing it for purely selfish reasons so adding to the mountains of shame that we get for any choice that we possibly make easily more helpful and of course it was a new dad who was so rude short of himself 🫪🙄🙄

I swear I hate people some times 😆. Because my 19 year old been out of school since she was 17 and she was formula feed. She was suppose to graduate last year but graduated 2024. My 17 year old now is about to graduate next month and she was formula and breastfed. My 13 year old is working up to it as well and he was the same. My 10 month old now is formula fed and have been in the 85% tile for her learning since she was 4 months. She is learning baby sign language. She been feeding herself with a spoon since 9 months.
