Laugh it up (while breastfeeding) and you may help improve your child’s allergy!
Jun 18 2007

Sounds a bit far fetched, but according to recent research laughing results in the production of more melatonin which aids in relaxation and somehow results in your baby having fewer allergies.  They specifically mention that people with high levels of melatonin have lower instances of eczema.   The bloggers at Baby Babble (makers of Stoneyfield Farm’s Organic yobaby products) just mentioned this in a post called Breastfeeding? Laugh it up and you may help improve your child’s allergy.

I wonder if the folks at Stoneyfield have tried getting their cows to laugh while they are being milked. 😉

I happened upon their blog a few weeks ago when doing some research for Babble Soft and have found their posts to be pretty interesting so far.  My kids started having yobaby yogurts soon after they were eating solids.  Now Stoneyfield offers yokids yogurts that have less fat but still taste yummy.

Anyway, what a great reason to watch comedies, cartoons, and have your husband work on his sense of humor while you breastfeed!  If you happened to read this post while you were breastfeeding, I hope it made you laugh. :mrgreen:

    It’s good to know that laughing while breastfeeding is a good thing — ’cause I can’t seem to help myself! (My husband is a funny guy….)
    Here’s something I found online while pumping last night — it made me laugh out loud:

    Love the picture Carole!
    I wonder if I was too unhappy then when my youngest was born because he has multiple chemical, food and inhalent allergies. Or is it because I am a redhead and therefore don’t have as much melatonin?

    If I ever am fortunate enough to have another, I will have to try laughing more! 😉
