I checked out breastfeedingchild.com too.  This caught my eye:

"If you catch a bug, specialized white blood cells will appear in your breast milk to protect your baby. Conversely, if your baby becomes sick, the transfer of germs from baby to your breast will trigger the production of specific antibodies. "

She's not the only one quoting this information.  I did some research relating to this and I was not able to find a legitimate reference for this.  Does anyone have one?
