Liz,
Quite awhile ago I posted about a study done in Italy (was published in the
APPPAH newsletter-can't locate right now) which showed that there is a
migration of nerve cells from the infant to the brain of the mother
beginning
at about six weeks and ending with a huge rush at birth (no matter if the
baby is born by cesarian), and that these cells remain in the mother's brain
for life. Isn't that attachment????
