Excerpt:
Breast-feeding may help the scars of childbirth
fade. Lactation speeds
wound healing and lowers stress in rats, researchers
told this week's
Society for Neuroscience Annual meeting in New
Orleans, Louisiana.
"It's quite possible that mothers who breast-feed
their newborns will have
accelerated healing of tissue damage compared with
mothers who
bottle-feed," says Tara Craft from Ohio State
University in Columbus, who
studied the rats.
