Dear Lacnetters,

I have a question, the answer to which is splittingly obvious, but I want to
be 100%. I've read in a paper by Dr Miriam Labbok IBCLC that breastfeeding
is often refered to "the final stage of labour" - she does not specifically
say why but my guess is because it reduces the risk of postpartum blood
loss. Is this what this term relates to?

I know...... I'll take this months prize for stupid question, so long as
someone answers!

groetjes

Sara Bernard
