I really don't drink my own milk. But common sense would dictate that the stuff in the milk have some influence on brain development. It won't turn you into Einstein, but it does have protein in it that can't be found anywhere else.

My daughter was breast-fed and bottle-fed and she is very smart. As a baby she two months ahead on the developmental chart for her age. Now she is almost 3 and she knows shapes that kids are learning in 1st grade, walked she was 9 months old, knows how to spell a few words and is an amazing artist.

She is my child and mothers are always proud of their kids, but trust me having a smart child has its drawback. She doesn't fall for the tricks that most kids fall for, and that make manipulation extremely hard.

There are days I wished I did not breast-feed.
