From the article on post-partum depression: "Breast feeding is metabolically
expensive, and the energetic costs of lactation are actually greater than
the energetic costs of pregnancy (Worthington-Roberts, Vermeersch &
Williams, 1985)."

Does anyone have other references about the energetic costs of lactation?
Isn't there some research suggesting that lactating mothers are more
metabolically efficient than non-lactating mothers?
