(Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times)
My husband sent me a link to yet another
L.A. Times article on the benefits of breastfeeding. Woo hoo! Go the Times! And okay okay, as much as I vent during my
"terrifying lows" about men and babies and not knowing diddly squat about how tough breastfeeding is, my husband is actually very great and supportive in this. And he does a lot of research on all things baby. I can see the desperation in his eyes sometimes, of how much he wishes he could help me in that department, when I'm at my wit's end with this. And he says, "if I could, I would breastfeed Zoë too." And I really believe he is sincere.
Anyway, so this article is talking about how breastfed babies, in a new study from Australia, have higher academic performance than non-breastfed babies. And, in particular, boys. Australia is actually the leading country in breastfeeding awareness and education. 90% of women there breastfeed. America needs to get on that shit for reeeeals.
So, there you go, yet another thing to add to my
Benefits of Breastfeeding section. Check out the
L.A. Times article.
