Breastmilk Rocks!!

Want one more reason for nursing that baby? (And smooching them every chance you get!)

Check this out:

“When a mother kisses her baby, she ‘samples’ those pathogens that are

on the baby’s face. Those are ones that the baby is about to ingest. These

samples are taken up by the mother’s secondary lymphoid organs like the

tonsils, and memory B cells specific for those pathogens are re-stimulated.

These B cells then migrate to the mother’s breasts where they produce just

those antibodies that the baby needs.” says Lauren Sompayrac, author of

How The Immune System Works.

Coolest fact ever right?!!? Keep kissing up on those babies!! :)
