Sorry, Wendy, I respectfully disagree.....bf support workers and 
parents need to know how feasible it might be to breastfeed 
*exclusively* and for how long.

Interested parties will also want to know that, too, I do agree.  I 
don't see any prospect of long term testing or follow up, but it 
might have been helpful, for the sake of answering parents' concerns, 
to have an analysis of the milk, or even a speculation based on 
existing knowledge.
