Dear Lactnetters,

During this Valentine month, our hospital has opted to begin a women's heart
health campaign (as I'm sure many are doing) and I definitely wanted to find
a nice way to tie-in the impact breastfeeding may have on heart health.

I found a lovely article at www.heartcenteronline.com talking about blood
pressure and breastfeeding (Reuters quoting the Lancet 2001) , and of course
we know breastfeeding can impact obesity, and diabetes--all which can affect
heart health.  Does anyone have any additional articles they might be
willing to share or point me to?

Many thanks to all,

~Linda M. Duce RN, CNM  Austin, TX
