Mom Breastfeeds In Order To Increase Daughter’s IQ

While most mothers stop breastfeeding before their child’s first birthday, Miira Dawson of Poole, Dorset hopes to breastfeed her daughter, Tara until she is 10 years old — if it is possible. There are a number of reasons why Miira has chosen to breastfeed her child much longer than most women, but the main one is intelligence. 

It’s Also Something Most People Aren’t Able To Remember

“I think it is a lovely thing for a baby to grow up and remember being breastfed, as not many people would be able to say this — plus, there are all the health and IQ benefits.”

Tara Isn’t The Only Child Miira Breastfeeds

Dawson also has a two-year-old son and nurses both him and Tara three times a day. “I don’t think other mums are bothered really. It’s none of their business but they may raise their eyebrows.” 

They Also Practice Co-Sleeping

On top of breastfeeding, Miira also practices co-sleeping with her children. She sleeps in the middle of the bed with one child on each side. Her husband Jim sleeps in a separate bed for health reasons.
