The news articles that tend to draw my attention are the ones with a hidden story buried in the details. Here’s one of those articles.

New York Health Officials Move to Get More Moms to Breastfeed.

Here’s a snip of the article from below the fold:

Even though some formulas use nutrients found in breast milk, city doctors say research proves the natural way is best.

“Decrease in infections, upper respiratory, ear,” said Dr. David Garry of Jacobi Medical Center. “Some benefit when it comes to IQ scores.”

Kim Williams-Mann breastfed her daughter for five years, and doesn’t agree with the ban.

“That doesn’t mean that those people have the nutrition or the education to support it,” Williams-Mann said. “It should be an option.”

Wait… whoa… huh? Back up.

Did you just say that Mrs. Mann breastfed her daughter until she was FIVE!!?? Aw… Eww… Ick.. That’s just… Ugh… I can’t… even… speechless.
