> "It's not news that mother's milk is the best for baby, but that is
> certainly the reason new moms give for their decision to breast-feed.
>
> Few speak about the new research that has shown that breast-feeding can
> protect against a wide variety of cancers as well as osteoporosis,
> infections, obesity and even depression.
>
> No one mentions the landmark study published in July in The Lancet medical
> journal that found that the more children a woman has and the longer she
> nurses them, the less chance she has of developing breast cancer.
>
> Women simply answer in chorus: It's the best thing for my baby.
>
> More and more, research shows it's good for mom, too.
>
> Despite all this good news, nursing doesn't necessarily come easily to
> everyone. Problems with latching on, producing enough milk and feeling
> comfortable are common physical concerns. At times, career demands and
> social stigmas play against nursing, leaving new moms to abandon their
> desires and this good news altogether."
