As soon as I saw this title I thought "breastfeeding should be the first step." It seems a lot of people don't breastfeed these days, at least more than when I was growing up. I'm sure busier lifestyles with more women working are partly to blame.

Between the health and IQ benefits, I would think breastfeeding or at least breast milk would be a no brainer.
