That article is interesting, but (call me crazy if you'd like) aren't babies who spend quality bonding time with their mother on a regular basis just as likely to succeed in that manner even if it's not "breast feeding bonding?"
Yes, I breastfed my baby, but her daddy bottle-fed her just as often with the same breastmilk. She had close, personal bonding time with each of us and I believe that has a lot to do with the findings mentioned in the article.
I dunno...whenever I read something that includes the word 'may' in it, I believe that to just be a coincidence.
I will, however, agree that children who are well behaved happen to come from parents who give a damn about how their kids act. It's called 'training them to be productive members of our society', and some people still just don't get it.
Is there a connection between this and breast-feeding? Maybe, as puggy put it, it has to do with the bond they achieve while nursing. That sounds more accurate than 'Breast-feeding MAY mean better behaved child'.
It really is the parents' responsibility to raise well behaved kids.
Allen's argument that kids who are home schooled are better behaved. My argument is .. I don't think so, it all has to do with how you raise your child.

Allen feeds Bryan just as much or more right now, just not breast milk. Some reason, he won't take it from him.
I don't quite get it..other than maybe Allen just gave up too soon and used formula and Bryan got used to getting formula from his father.
He's fine with me and breast milk.
