American Academy of Pediatrics website (www.aap.org) Breastfeeding vs. Bottle feeding Brain Development Most artificial infant milk uses cow milk as a base and is virtually absent of Taurine. This explains why recent studies show that fully AIM-fed children have IQs 5-8 points lower than children who are fully breastfed. To provide some perspective, the uproar of lead poisoning in the 1970s was a heated issue because lead poisoning was shown to decrease children’s IQs by 5 points. Developmental Considerations Breastfed babies have been shown to have better fine and large motor development, and better balance and speech than their bottle-fed counterparts. It is thought that this is due to the constant touching, holding and skin to skin contact with the mother. It is thought that the variety of positions a breastfed baby is held in during feedings stimulates both the right and left side of the brain as the baby is switched from breast to breast. Breastfeeding also positions the baby in the exact distance at which they can focus clearly. Bottle-fed babies are usually fed in one position, tend to be fed while fully clothed (resulting in almost no skin to skin contact), are fed while sitting on a pillow or in a seat, and are often in positions that do not allow them to make eye contact the person feeding them. Studies show that breastfed babies have fewer dental problems than bottle-fed babies because the muscles and actions required to breastfeed contribute to proper jaw and oral development.
