[quote=GUEST15346,418207]Keeping an open mind here....I've heard too from a doctor friend that specializes in diseases and it was her speculation, whether the Chinese knew it or not, that this custom is like a vaccine for the baby. The mother accrues various pathogens, from the lack of washing, which the baby may ingest along with the mothers milk. She said the milk works in neutralizing the ingested pathogens within the babies body and helps to "program" the baby's immune system. Again, her speculation and being as objective about the custom as she can. Sounds pretty neat to me if that is true.[/quote]
