Anyone brave enough, I suppose :-) I don't know the contents- I've ssen
some pretty interesting diaper contents in my day!

I don't know. My question is more one of 'how on earth did they find out
that this worked?' They didn't know about bacteria or of amylase processes-
they did know that is you did this, it worked. But the point of discovery
is what intrigues me... I mean, I don't go around spitting or urinating
into food containers. How did this happen?

Just wait- about a year or so from now, your Little Darling will swallow a
button, or a nickel, or a Lego, or a subway token. And then you will hover,
praying for 'diaper surprise', and having truly disgusting conversations
with your wife about the end result...
