Breastfeeding has benefits, but not everyone agrees on how big they are

This surprises no one though.
Even some of the studies that had significant results at a numerical level are clinically insignificant. (4 IQ points only matters if you’re at the margins already. Even 7 IQ points is unlikely to hold someone back unless they’re already suffering from a below normal IQ.)
And yet if you don’t breastfeed you get beat over the head. To the point that I know people who lied to the hospital and told them they were doing it just so the hospital wouldn’t bother them.
