Dear wise ones,

It has been my understanding that the absolute level of immune factors,
protective factors in human milk is relatively stable and that the relative
levels change due to the total amount of milk (low total milk-high immune
factor level vs high total milk-low immune factor level).
Now someone asked me if it is therefor wise or not to tandem breastfeed,
because both children would get only half the protective factors they would
get if bf alone.
I had to shamefully confess I did not have a clue to an answer. Does anyone
of you have?

Warmly greeting,

Gonneke
