A colleague whose son is the proud father of a 6 month old breastfed baby
was recently informed by him that his baby doesn't get bitten by mosquitoes.
He insisted that he read somewhere that breastfed babies in general are not
bitten by mosquitoes. I've never heard this before. Has anyone? The dad was
not able to quote his source. This may be another benefit of breastfeeding
that we can add to our ever growing list!
