Dear Friends:
The posts about saliva and Hartman's ultrasounds showing that there is
retrograde flow in the breast seems to answer a question I have had.
Mothers who do not breastfeed become painfully engorged before the milk
goes away, but they don't get mastitis. Whereas a mother who gets engorged
during breastfeeding can get mastitis. So maybe there is something in the baby's
saliva that does go up into the breast?
warmly,
