I was reading through the comments on “Advances in baby formula” and I noticed 2 claims: babies that are breastfed have higher IQ, and mothers breastfeed less with later children.
If so I wonder if that might not be traced back to immune systems—breastfeeding allows the baby to develop a strong immune system I think given the baby can borrow from mom rather than developing the response alone.
