Dear Kathy,

You reminded me of a point, concerning baby boys and their mother's hormones, that I was informed of recently and would like to investigate further.  A professor mentioned that young adult males, with mothers suffering from hyperemesis through their pregnancy, were at increased risk of testicular cancer because of her excessively increased estrogen level through their fetal growth.

I would be interested in hearing your comments and reading any additional information that any of you may have on this issue, particularly concerning soy and estrogen for breastfed children.

God Bless,
Penny Lane RN, IBCLC

I had another interesting call.  A mom is drinking soy milk.  Her question
was will the estrogen be a problem for her male  infants.  My question is does
it affect her milk supply.
