My wife and just adopted and its hard not to feel second class when there's all this horse wisdom about breastfeeding, which just isn't an option for us. Thankfully, I don't see 1-3 IQ points as having any practical advantage. I could see perhaps 10+ as being meaningful. We're not even sure what IQ measures other than the ability to take IQ tests. I'm not saying the test is useless, but its a synthetic benchmark and the realm of 1 to 3 points may be meaningless itself, even though its measurable, the same way spending an extra $200 on my desktop will mean my games will go from 45fps to 60fps. I doubt I'd notice.
Its also bothersome that IQ is the only metric social and biological sciences take seriously. I'd love to see the results of different lifestyle choices on things like emotional intelligence or creative intelligence.
