    With studies linking breast feeding to lower Obesity and higher IQ
-How does this data stack up socioeconomically? Are women that choose not to breastfeed (*choose* being the optimal word) more likely to be uneducated and obese themselves, therefore resulting in having a child that is obese and uneducated?

I have no doubt that breastfeeding is optimal for the child, but I do think there is likely more to the story.
