in norma jane bumgarner's LLLI book, "mothering your nursing toddler," (i am sorry, it is not in front of me right now, and i am nursing my toddler, who has fallen asleep on top of me), she cites a study where they soaked baby teeth in separate solutions of cow milk, human milk, and sugar water of some kind--maybe juice, and human milk plus sugar water.

the cow milk teeth rotted, though not as quickly as the juice/sugar water teeth.  the human milk teeth recalcified!  but, the sugar/human milk teeth rotted fastest.

the lesson may be that anything on our child's teeth combined with our milk is a possible problem; our milk alone is not!  hope this helps.
