She's also just as bright as everyone else, even though she was discovered to have a hearing loss in one of her ears -- the one that kept getting infected. Fortunately, she has two ears.

There have been lots of studies that show that breastfed infants have fewer ear infections. You're not really going to dispute that, are you?

Again, the study in the OP didn't make the global claims that some think it made. It studied a limited number of factors in a limited age-group. That's it.

Many other studies have shown benefits, both to this age group and to adults.

Breast-fed children are less likely to contract a number of diseases later in life, including juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and cancer before the age of 15
