Greetings All,
ScienceDaily article reports this is the largest study to date (107 mother-infant pairs) showing the transfer of bacteria in the milk into the baby's gut, and also a transfer of bacteria from the areolar skin into the gut. This ScienceDaily article includes brief comments by the lead author of the study, Dr. Grace Aldrovandi, a professor of pediatrics and chief of infectious diseases at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital in Los Angeles.
Study findings: 30 percent of the beneficial bacteria in a baby's intestinal tract come directly from mother's milk, and an additional 10 percent comes from skin on the mother's breast.

Second study on reduced risk of MS in mothers who breastfeed: "Mothers who breastfeed for a total of at least 15 months over one or more pregnancies may be less likely to develop multiple sclerosis (MS) compared with those who don't breastfeed at all or do so for up to four months, according to a study." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/07/170712201148.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fhealth_medicine%2Fbreastfeeding+%28Breastfeeding+News+--+ScienceDaily%29

More new research reported by ScienceDaily, not yet published that I can find in a PubMed search:
"Breastfeeding after a caesarean section may help manage pain, with mothers who breastfed their babies for at least 2 months after the operation three times less likely to experience persistent pain compared to those who breastfed for less than 2 months, according to new research being presented at this year's Euroanaesthesia Congress in Geneva (3-5 June)." ESA (European Society of Anaesthesiology). "Breastfeeding may protect against chronic pain after Caesarean section."

With best wishes for many celebrations of World Breastfeeding Week,
