Faye gives an interesting paper in which he has collected many instances of milk in the breasts of the new-born.
Jonston details a description of lactation in an infant. Variot mentions milk-secretion in the new-born and says that it generally takes place from the eighth to the fifteenth day and not in the first week.
He also adds that probably mammary abscesses in the new-born could be avoided if the milk were squeezed out of the breasts in the first days.
Variot says that out of 32 children of both sexes, aged from six to nine months, all but six showed the presence of milk in the breasts.
Gibb mentions copious milk-secretion in an infant, and Sworder and Menard have seen young babes with abundant milk-secretion. Precocious Lactation .-- Bochut says that he saw a child whose breasts were large and completely developed, offering a striking contrast to the slight development of the thorax.
