>> Does it make sense that the hormones of lactation would cause the
continued loosness of muscles of the pelvic floor?

Multiple vaginal births cause continued looseness of the pelvic floor
muscles too.  (OH NO! SHOCKING!)  Which is why now some "enlightened" women
are demanding elective C/S so they can "preserve their continence."  I could
hardly believe this, but amazingly there are actually OB-GYNs who will
perform C/S on demand, with no medical indication.  

If breastfeeding produces the same results as being able to have healthy
babies vaginally, that sounds like a reason to *continue* breastfeeding.
