No Impact On Intelligence

This topic appears to be a back and forth thing when you read literature but now it's breastfeeding has no impact on intelligence. The higher scores on IQ tests of breastfed children were attributed mostly to mothers who "tended to be more intelligent, better educated and provided a more stimulating environment at home." Is our home environment without TV watching stimulating enough for baby? There are some days when both MSO and I feel like we're boring parents and baby is not getting enough stimulation. Thank goodness for books, toys, music, and the dog!
