Dear all:
I have been meaning to post about Jennifer Tow's interesting theory about how damage to the
mother's own gut may very well play a role in what is transmitted through the breast milk. I think
this is the first time I have had an explanation that makes sense to me for a finding in some of the
studies that Lisa Marasco sent me long ago on cow's milk allergies in breastfed infants. I could never
figure out why some of these studies showed only about a 50% transmission rate of cow's milk
proteins into mothers milk. Why did some women transmit these proteins and not others? Perhaps
this is merely those mothers with a leaky gut.
By a process of self selection, I think Jennifer and I see subsections of the population that rarely
overlap. I wish she worked in Manhattan so I could come watch her in action and learn. I think I am
philosophically more aligned with her clientele, but perhaps if we were working in the same city, I
could incorporate some of her interventions and try to figure out ways to entice the overscheduled,
overacheiving, hyperactive Manhattan moms to adopt some of her techniques.
