A member asked:
Are there any benefits of drinking your own breastmilk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None to speak of: The other dietary intake of such a person would easily dilute any of the immune or other factors present in the milk.The effect would be little more than value of protein, sugars and fat incorporated in the milk.
