Hi, Lactnetters!
    Recently, there was a reference on LactNet to a paper of mine of
Lactational Headaches (JHL). When I wrote that case report, references
were a bit thin on the ground, despite searching relevant databases (as
did my client).  Here are the references I now have, most of them
recent, on LACTATION & HEADACHES (11 refs).  I'll list chronologically,
in order of the most recent:
