Does anyone have citations on a causative link between breastfeeding an
older child and habitual/repeated miscarriages? I have a mom whose nursing
her 5 year old once every day or two. Her physician blames nursing on the
miscarriages. I know the biochemistry behind why he's saying this (nipple
stim causing oxytocin release, etc), but I haven't seen any studies.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Chris
