Funny that - I used BOTH breasts when nursing my kids. (Not at the same time tho).

Well that was pretty unnecessary. You only need to use the two if you had twins (a somewhat fairly frequent occurrence).

Yeah ... like, that's the reason for being! Infants being merely "coincidental" would have led to a pretty fast extinction!

The heart should have been in the middle, if all things were equal.

But no!

Women are top of the tree!

Explain why women are right handed then and therefore needed their hearts on the left...?

Because most women tend to be right handed ... the heart was selected to be on the left.

You don't think the reverse could be true...?

It doesn't matter! If women were predominantly left handed then the heart would have been on the right side to compensate. So then the male heart would have followed suit.

Either way, it is the female of the species who is the vanguard, trailblazer, trend-setter!

Oh dear Oracle :shock:

If you have breast fed your offspring, did you only use the left button? I thought nursing mum's swapped sides when one has been sucked dry.

Oh well, at my age I am still learning. :shock:

Well I've oft thought one of Lady O's problems might have been that she was bottle fed!

Obviously so were her own kids as she doesn't have a CLUE about how to breast feed -

Psst! Just in case you think of having another and breast feeding - you give the baby equal time on right and left breasts (or you end up with problems lol!)

That's the point.

Whichever or whatever suits the female of the species is what predominates!

I'm wondering the explanation for premature ejaculation then...

[quote="Oracle"]Here's one ....

Humans have their heart on the left side of the body so that nursing infants can be soothed by a heartbeat whilst the mother's right hand is free to make bread, pick berries, do work ...

Why do men have their heart on the left side?[/quote]

So that they can keep thier wallets on the right...

If your theory is true Oracle, why men have nipples? :roll:

Anyway the heart is NOT on the left side of the body, but is at the center of the chest, is just the tip pointing down (we have the left lung smaller )
If you put your hand on the left you "hear" more than that right but if you put your hand in the middle you feel even more.

A study by researchers at the University of Sussex, England, reveals that women tend more often to tighten the children with their left hand because it activates brain regions associated with emotional ties.

The real explanation, they argue, would be linked to differences in the brain. The right brain controls the left side of the body and usually helps to process emotions hold the baby with her left hand could therefore help to direct the emotionally charged information, such as tears and laughter, the right brain specializes in their management.
