Mother’s milk made to order for boys or girls

Studies have uncovered a common theme: baby boys often get milk that is richer in fat or protein -- and thus energy -- while baby girls often get more milk.Mothers may say they don't care whether they have a son or a daughter, but their breast milk says otherwise. "Mothers are producing different biological recipes for sons and daughters," said Katie Hinde, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University. There are a lot of theories as to why this happens, Hinde said Friday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual meeting.
