Hi, everyone:

I am working with a new mom who has developed a fistula as a result of her birth. She needs to have surgery, and her doctor is advising her to wean (her baby is 6 months old) because he told her that the lower level of estrogen present during breastfeeding can inhibit vaginal healing. I've never heard this before, and searched the archives but couldn't find anything there.

Any information as to the validity of this would be helpful!

Peggy
