There was a study done recently - testing for chemicals in 'mother's milk' - and they came up with a 'surprisingly' high amount of fire retardant in the milk. I suspect the reporter covering the story didn't know that baby's clothes are soaked in the stuff. That didn't appear in the story.

It was a recent study - recent story - but I have no link... sorry 'bout that...

I'm guessing - but have no proof that this could be something that's impacting children in bad ways - allergies - autism etc... it's one of the few major chemical changes for young children in the last 35 years - when numbers for childhood baddies started climbing...

I researched and found this ...

Are Flame Resistant Baby Pajamas Safe for Babies?

• "Today, it is estimated that less than 1% of all baby pajamas are actually treated to be marketed as flame resistant."
  
  
• "several major children's clothing lines have begun selling 100% cotton pajamas treated with a flame retardant chemical called PROBAN [THPC]."
  "there is speculation that THPC causes genetic abnormalities, as well as damage to the liver and nervous system, and promotes the growth of cancerous tumor."

Note the word "speculation." It may just be like the speculation that immunizations causes autism, etc.
