An advice to mothers: You may want to clean your baby's dummy (pacifier) by sucking it first (as a way of cleaning) to boost your baby's immunity. The study shows how this practice help reduce the incidence of allergies and susceptibility to infections in children. This way the mother passes healthy bacteria to their babies and also trigger a faster/earlier development of the immune system.
This study reminds me of the germaphobic mother in Everything Everything.
Happy reading!
