Any one online this am go to the radio listen to report about newly
isolated Mothering gene? phospho B. If eliminated  in mice they do not
mother and suckle their pups,  who die within days....they will be or are
applying this research to non-human primates at he Yerkes Center for
primate research in Atlanta.  I'm not sure i want to hear their results
but, this follows  along a theory I have that girls who have not been
breastfed as infants, not even once have been programmed neuro-hormonally
to be less able to suckle their own young maybe be more likely to suffer
tha dreaded 1-5% (perhaps greater) with primary inability to
lactate.....I've always wondered how so many women lack even that
unexplainable inner desire to just try it even once......I know there are
so many other learned -modeled factors but too many mothers, in my opinion
display aversion to the concept of that much intimacy, why do some moms who
have been abused or even brutalized, still retain that inner desire to
nurture and suckle?

could this be why we have noticed in the past 30 + years a gradual, subtle
lack of attachment parenting skills and more dis-engagement with parenting
in  general ? why we have so many lonely children souls wandering the
streets of the 90's world-wide look at ------ which has for 20 + years had
so little breastfeeding culturally and go to the cities where Gangs of very
young children wander and are eliminated by authorities, I see this in our
very own American inner cities from coast to coast. it's scary it's not a
simple solution but if we could get every new mother to even suckle once or
perhaps express milk to stimulate and transfer the neuro hormones even more
complex and important than just the 2 we focus on, perhaps the transfer of
these hormones do more than make and deliver milk, perhaps they are the
keys that turn on a cascade of VERY IMPORTANT changes in mothers and
infants..girls and boys.  I know I've made some folks irritated at my post,
I apologize. Is there a professional forum that addresses these ideas and I
could sign on to ? KATHY D. are you out there ? listen to NPR folks some
neat food for thought, again I apologize....
