Re Grace's request for info on abuse and breastfeeding:
Family Violence and Breast-feeding, by Louise Acheson, in Arch. Fam. Med. Vol
4, 1995, pp650-0652
"A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for 800 pregnancies
followed up to delivery in one family practice. The review revealed a
previously unsuspected association between lack of breast-feeding(hyphen
theirs) and physical and sexual abuse of the woman and/or her children. This
anecdotal association, not previously reported, is worth studying."
