There has been recent research that again indicates that bonedensity decreases
during lactation, but increases after weaning to higher then prepregnant levels.
So it is normal to have low density during lactation, there's no need
toprematurely wean and it does not raise the risk for osteoporosis later on. But
I can't remember where I've read it; think I'd better catalogue everything the
minute I read it ;)
