Wow! Great article, but I am disappointed that breastfeeding for two years won't increase I.Q. Oh well, at least the immune system benefits, and I loved the bonding.
Can't wait to read your book! I am especially interested in the effects of bilingualism on the brain since I speak to the kids in Spanish and dad speaks to them in German. They get English at preschool.
