This does not elicit faith that the author has any insight whatsoever.
Edit:
I’m not particularly motivated by talk of IQ in general because the groups that get fixated on it rarely have overlap with my own interest in human cognition. I’ve found this stuff to often be sensationalist navelgazing nothingness at best.
- xbar 4y agoTLDR: breastfeeding has a lot of benefits but IQ is not consistently correlated in the literature. I find IQ topics go as you suggest, generally. Parenting topics around IQ are a slightly different beast: middle-class American parents (at least) are obsessed with making their baby smarter than your baby. It has been a thing for 35+ years. Something about the competitiveness of the boomers in the mid-80s spiked a baby IQ frenzy that has only worsened. I think the author is very smart at selling Substack Subscriptions to post-COVID moms.
