In a message Patricia G questioned: <<Could we be looking at 3rd generation of no breastfeeding? Is there life-long hormonal effect from a baby girl breastfeeding or not?>> I was adopted, not breastfed, made tons of milk right away. <<What about a woman reaching adulthood,conceiving, and giving birth without ever holding an infant?>> uh, not a good idea. <<What about overdevelopment of the left brain and underdevelopment of the right brain?>> uh, wear a hat. Hope this helps. Deb Deborah Tobin RN BSN ACCE IBCLC
