At first glance, breastfeeding appears to be a one-way process in which milk flows from the mother to the infant.

But research reveals something remarkable: when a baby suckles, the gentle negative pressure allows a small amount of saliva to travel back into the milk ducts. This saliva carries immune signals that communicate the baby’s needs to the mother’s body.

In response, her immune system adjusts the composition of the breast milk, boosting the production of specific antibodies and immune factors tailored to her infant.

This adaptive process is especially valuable when a baby is unwell, as it enables the infant to draw upon the mother’s immune defences for additional support.

A remarkable example of nature’s intelligence.
