Yes and I wonder if the were aware of this research from Australia
http://pediatric.healthcentersonline.com/newsstories/breastmilkeasesaddictednewborns.cfm?general=NL_PEDIATRIC
Jun 12 (Reuters Health) - Babies of drug-dependent mothers are born with the
same addiction, and have to go through withdrawal. The severity of symptoms
is reduced, Australian researchers have found, when such infants are breast
fed or given milk expressed by their mothers.
Being given breastmilk clamed these babies, breastfeeding also helps (no
research yet, anyone want to do it?? but I've published a couple of case
histories of babies born drug addicted being breastfed without breastmilk
and seeing big changes in behaviour)
