This has come up several times in the last two weeks.  And it is driving me
nuts.  Somewhere out there doctors are telling mothers that since antibodies
are proteins they are digested so therefore it doesn't matter if baby is
breastfed or formula fed.  ARGH
OK now we all agree that breastmilk provides protection because of the
antibodies.  So what do I tell people about the antibodies?  Why or how aren't
they digested?
