vocabulary and verbal IQ and some suggestion that there may be a nutritional
component related to the higher amount of omega3 fatty acids found in breast
milk vs. formula as it was constituted at the time [some changes
recently]. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

<DIV>dear all, </DIV>
<DIV>this question came up from a discussion with a friend who is a lactation
consultant. there seems to be a given that breastfeeding is better than any
other alternative for virtually every aspect of development. is there any
published research on the relationship between breastfeeding and language
development? if any relationship is found is it attributed to nutritional
issues or to other issues (emotional, sensori-motor, etc) </DIV>
<DIV>i will post a summary if there are replies.</DIV>
<DIV>thanx! </DIV>
