It is within scope of  my "knowings" that the nipple is a two-way
conduit  (think yeast) and the study that the infant's saliva affects the
milk composition, including antibodies, was done in the early '70s.

The research needs to be repeated for the minds of the 2000's. We know that
studies come, are challenged, are forgotten, are repeated on and on and on.

If anyone would like to know what I remember from the article on this study
and what I have observed through the years on this topic, you can e-mail me.
