"Making Kids Smarter" article

What do you lactivists think about this?

It starts off...

When I was pregnant with my first child, I did something I suspect many rookie parents do: I bought a book that promised I could make my baby smarter.

It included all sorts of instructions--everything from reading to the fetus to making black-and-white mobiles, and later freezing cubes of breast milk and letting them slowly thaw in her presence.

I guess I pretty much liked the reference to breastmilk, but um.... why does it have to be frozen into ice cubes to help with intelligence....?

Because breastcicles mean that the kid isn't getting juice and also means the kid is getting breastmilk for longer?
