The first evidence that baby's saliva enters the breast was from a
poster presentation at ILCA last year. They did FISH (flourescent
in-situ hybridization, a technique used for sensitive genetics
diagnostics) to identify y chromosome bearing cells in maternal breast
immediately after bf a male child. They found 'em!
I don't remember the author's names... sorry, but this is an exciting
piece of work. I hope they publish it.
And don't forget the oral structural effects of breastfeeding, Brian
Palmer DDS published an article in JHL several years ago on that.
