<<<. If we think about
it there are actually 2 times during the lactation period that higher levels
of immune components are really vital for the survival of the infant--the
newborn period and during weaning. I find it profoundly comforting that our
bodies have this magnificent system to keep our infants protected. Valerie

Valerie, what about the time period of weaning an older child while still
nursing a baby? Does that mean our immunities increase even though we are
still actually nursing? Or do we only see the increase when weaning
totally?
Thanks,
