It seems to me a really key part of this situation is to remember, that
nursing for years is the NATURAL and expected state of a woman after any live
birth, so even if it was breastfeeding related, so what? I understand it
might be annoying, and for some religious women it plays havoc with their
relationships with their husbands, but the bottom line is, even if this is
more likely with breastfeeding, that just makes it normal. It is unkown
because most women have forgotten the knowledge of what is normal for a
woman, as have their MDs. THAT is the real problem that I see here...
