This research shows that exclusively breastfed babies have better developed brains than formula-fed or partially formula fed babies. Elise was partially formula fed. The article also states that breastfeeding beyond a year showed significant brain growth, too! Really fascinating. I guess a part of me feels like I am making up for all of that formula during the first year by breastfeeding longer.
