SBC # 574 The Science of Motherhood: The Amazing Adaptive Powers of Breast Mil-Eva Emerson, Science Writer/Editor of Knowable Magazine

Eva will discuss all the wondrous and often overlooked powers of breast milk that science has confirmed and discovered. Breastmilk is often a human’s first form of nourishment outside the womb, and it is a miraculous mother creation that adapts to the baby’s individual needs. Research has discovered that the qualities and properties of breastmilk have the capacity to protect babies from disease and to support their growth and development in astounding ways.
