Two important groups of nutrients found in breast milk but not in any commercial infant formula may hold the key to why breast-fed babies appear brainier, according to a Sydney paediatrician, Dr. Patricia McVeagh.

In The Lancet last year, the results of a published study of 300 eight year old children who had been born prematurely showed that most of those who had been breast-fed had "significant IQ advantage". Dr. McVeagh said for those children who received breast milk, the study had showed they had an average eight-point IQ advantage over the formula fed premature babies.
