Laughing milk

I love a good "laughter is the best medicine" story, and since becoming a mother I also love any story to do with motherhood. The article linked above contains both: it reports a study that shows that breastmilk abates infant eczema when the mother laughed in the hours prior to the feed. The researchers believe this is due to the increased levels of melatonin in the milk. Melatonin levels are often decreased in eczema sufferers.
