Breast Feeding Benefits

A recent study published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) revealed that kids who have been breast-fed are less likely to get intestinal infections, colds, earaches, asthma and skin problems such as eczema. Plus, earlier studies have shown that breast-fed kids score better in intelligence tests! Check with your ob/gyn for other studies and benefits thought to be attributable to breast rather than bottle feeding.
