Breast feeding helps vision

Posted on Feb 11th 2007 8:09AM by Rigel Celeste

As much as they may try, the makers of baby formula just can't simulate the real thing completely. In a new study coming out of London, data shows that babies who were breast fed have much better stereoscopic vision than babies raised on formula. The scientists think it's due to higher DHA levels in breast milk than formula, but interestingly the children who had DHA-fortified formula didn't do any better on the eye exams than those who took regular formula.

There's some kind of magic in breast milk, the kind only a mother can make.
