Publisher's Note
Usually the first observable effect is that the baby stops crying, but the scientists here explore benefits in physical health that extend well into adulthood. The 67 papers and abstracts from an October 1999 conference in Bavaria consider such aspects as beer and breastfeeding, opsonophagocytosis versus lectinophagocytosis in human milk macrophages, breastfeeding and HIV-1 infection, the polyunsaturated fatty acid supply with human milk, the energy intake and growth of breast-fed infants in two regions of Mexico, zinc intakes and plasma concentrations in infancy, breastfeeding and asthma in children, breast-feeding patterns and influencing factors in Lithuania, using a soft laser to treat sore nipples, and news about human milk banking in Germany. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
