I"ll wait for MDs to discuss safety. Be awarethat the literautre does
contain articles that note that breastfeeding babies, when immunized or
vaccinated, respond with higher titers than same-age infants who are
artificially fed. This would seem to me to be a good thing, insofar as high
titers provide greater protection against the particular disease in
question.  These same articles also note that said protection appears to
last considerably longer in breastfed babies than in other ones--in some
cases, YEARS longer!  Let's hear it for Mother's Own!  :-)
