Does anybody have any information or has heard about the phenomenon of TANATOPHORIC BREAST?  Supposedly the term means from Greek mammary gland that loves death.  If a child with serious genetic problems is born, his mother's body secrets something in milk that puts the baby to sleep forever (essentially kills the baby).  I am not sure if this is an urban legend or a credible term/ phenomenon.  Any thoughts?
