Abstract
⺠Dependence on maternal resources for eutherian development extends into neonatal life. ⺠Lactation and lactocrine communication support postnatal developmental programming. ⺠Lactocrine signaling affects neonatal female reproductive tract development. ⺠Disruption of estrogen-sensitive, lactocrine-driven uterine development has lasting effects. ⺠Colostrum/milk is a conduit for delivery of endocrine-disruptive chemicals to neonates.
