The recent revelation that BBC newsreader Huw Edwards was rejected from Oxbridge has sparked speculation about how much infant nutrition can impact academic achievement. The Times has even written an editorial in support of breastfeeding, claiming that breastfeeding leads to “brainy babies”. However, while new research suggests a link between breastfeeding and educational achievement, mothers should not feel bad for not breastfeeding. The study’s authors note that the correlation between breastfeeding and academic performance is limited, and there are other confounding factors at play. While breastfeeding should be encouraged when possible, it is ultimately up to individual mothers to decide what is best for their child.
