Even if it is true, what could a mom do about it by the time you have them in school? Is smarter the key to everything? Listen to my story...my daughter ended up having a c section because the baby would not turn. The minute they started the proceedure she became deathly ill and started vomiting...so, they had to give her something to stop this and she could not breast feed the baby for 36 hours. Meanwhile, when she got back to the room, my son-in-law and her were shown a movie that breast feeding needs to take place within so many hours to properly bond with the baby. My daughter started crying..my son-in-law looked completely helpless.I was furious with the OB nurse for making them watch when they knew the situation and had the doctor come in and talk my daughter. He did a wonderful job of reassuring her and my son-in-law. Due to other complications, breast feeding became a problem and so she could not do it as she had planned. That baby is now 4 years old. He is smart, social and a delight to his pre-school teacher and classmates. Could he have been smarter? Perhaps. But, really, who cares? I also have 2 children in my room that spent the first 6 months of their life in a critical state. There are some delays, but the fact is THEY ARE ALIVE and functioning beyond expectations. While, breast feeding may be the best way, it cannot always be the way. This is the type of studies that need to be handed out after a normal birth of a child. It does not belong in the kindergarten information section to add guilt and relieve the burden of failure from the teacher.
