This, but also, IQ isn't an exact score, right? Wouldn't this fit snugly within the margin of error?
Not only that, but are people even still using IQ as a metric of intelligence? As I understand it IQ is only a measure of one type of intelligence. I mean I'm all for giving a child every advantage you can fathom as a parent, so I think this is still kind of cool research, but I don't see how it equates to anything truly meaningful.
It kind of just adds one more point in the "breastfeeding is good" column.
