Lactnet is wonderful!  In one brief week, I have learned  so much.  THank
you for such a valuable forum.  I am an IBCLC since 1991, an RN and
mother of four, 10, 6,6,3. I started a Not-For-Profit organization
"Breastfeeding Matters, Inc. " with a warm-line and education for the
community.  It's interesting.My questions.
1. Mom with 7mo old has elevated chol. levels above normal, insurance co.
increased her rates.  Hachey in AJCN, 1994 and others state these levels
remain high intil about 4 mo. PP.  But is that in the BF mom?  Any info
on these levels in the "PP" mom who continues BF.
2. Recent infant death here from"Shaking CHild Syndrome".  Apparently
exclusively bF infant.  Any research about BF and CHild abuse.  I was
always under the impression BF was associated with Decreased incidence of
child abuse. I know the non BF community can have a hayday with this case.
THank you again for this service.
