Breastfeeding can be good for heart
Extract:
"Breastfeeding may be good for the mother as well as her baby, research published yesterday suggests.
In a study of 96,648 nurses who gave birth between 1986 and 2002, those who had spent at least two years of their lives breastfeeding were 19 per cent less likely to suffer a heart attack than those who had not breastfed.
The difference was independent of any of the usual risk factors for heart disease, such as family history, diet or exercise levels."
