"Recently, we observed that early neonatal ingestion of breast milk from diabetic mothers may dose-dependently increase the risk of overweight in childhood." Dear Friends: I wonder what associations the principal researchers have with industry. This article makes no sense at all; are they saying that human milk is bad for babies? Seems like another sophisticated crock of manure to me. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
