I love your website! I’m a leader in Brantford, Ontario. This article is so popular right now. I love how it explains the immune properties to moms. What drives me nuts though is the last line of the article – about making a vaccine based on this research!
Instead of making a vaccine – how about we support breastfeeding friendly births, lots of early skin to skin contact and no formula supplements. We need to support breastfeeding! It makes no sense to create a vaccine for something our bodies do naturally! Sheesh!
