There is one reference that apparently quotes breastfeeding as a risk
reduction for cervical cancer. I have not read the reference, but it
is quoted in Maureen Minchin's booklet Breastfeeding: Advantages
for Developed Nations
Brock KE, Berry G, Brinton LA et al. Sexual, reproductive and
contraceptive risk factors for carcinoma-in-situ for the uterine
cervix in Sydney. Med J Aust 1989; 150:125-130
If I have time, I'll track down the article and report back to all of
you on its content.
Hope this helps
