Lactoferrin is a protein which has been found to inhibit the growth of some cancerous cells. Not content with that, it does some other incredible stuff too.

It binds itself to the iron in our kids’ system, and helps our little ones to absorb the iron. Whilst it’s there, it also prevents harmful bacteria and other micro-organisms from consuming that iron, which they need in order to survive.

Lactoferrin also kills the bacteria streptococcus mutans which can cause serious infections, and causes tooth decay and cavities. This does not mean that breastfed children can’t get cavities. Other factors, such as genetics, play a role.

But there is no evidence that breastfeeding causes cavities or decay, despite what some dentists tell distraught mothers. In fact, there is evidence that breastfeeding up to 12 months reduces the risk of tooth decay.

Lactoferrin also inhibits infection by Hepatitis B and C, Cytomegalovirus (Herpes family), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), the common cold, Poliovirus, Enterovirus (diarrhoea virus, which can be fatal if severe), and others.

Again, this doesn’t mean that our kids will never contract any of these. But it does mean that the severity is likely to be lessened, if they do.

There’s a whole superhero film to be made about Lactoferrin. But the real star of that movie is you, mama.
