I don't  think she ever did BF from
the beginning.  I doubt that any mention of  breastfeeding as a preventive to
PPD will be mentioned, but it would be  wonderful if it was.



An excerpt from Brooke Shield's book about her postpartum depression is in  
the May issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine starting on page 178. On  page 180, 
"After only a couple of days at home, I was crying a lot-even  while nursing 
Rowan. . . . At one point, both my mother-in-law and my mother  suggested that 
I stop breast-feeding to give myself a break. What nobody  understood was 
that I was hanging on to the breast-feeding (sic) as my lifeline.  It was the 
only thing that made me unique in terms of caring for Rowan. Without  it, she 
might be lost to me forever. I refused to quit."
