Homework 18- Health and Science - Breastfeeding Infants can Raise their IQ


If breastfeeding could help a child raise their IQ then I say go for it. What harm could that do to society? None. What’s the harm in that? Nothing. This could only help raise the IQ’s in children with a gene called FADS2. This gene is suppose to control fatty acid pathways that will help infants use breast milk better. Although I say it’s kind of wrong to say that only children with this gene are the only kinds that can raise its IQ. I think there are many other ways to raise IQ’s not only by drinking breast milk. Maybe a mother can let her baby listen to classical music, I heard that can make your baby smarter. I think there are many other ways to make your baby smarter not just this way.

i agree with you anna, of that raises a childs iq then i support it. Its important that every child has a high iq, i believe eduation is important and if breast feeding increases that then i support it.
