How long were you breastfed?
Dominic Vanderzypen brought an interesting article about breastfeeding and IQ: http://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2015/mar/18/breastfeed...
So I am wondering... How long were you breastfed?
Those cathegories were chosen like this, since a baby can live only with milk up to 6 months and starts to eat other things from this time. The remaining cathegories were chosen purely arbitrarily.

Jass-Gruppe Zürich
Hallo Zusammen
Jonathan Hayes hat gerade die Idee eingebracht - nach dem erfolgreichen Jass-Workshop am EMAG - ob wir nicht eine Jass-Gruppe Zürich gründen könnten. Dies würde es vereinfachen spontane oder regelmässige Termine unter Gleichgesinnten zu finden um in der Region Zürich ab und zu einen zünftigen Jass zu klopfen. Was meint Ihr dazu? Wieviele würden sich spontan in einer solchen Gruppe eintragen?
Bin gespannt auf die Rückmeldungen.
Besten Dank und viele Grüsse
Manfred
(Jass-Instruktor am EMAG ;-)
