I apologize if this has been posted already, but I don't recall seeing it. I
just love it when researchers find lactation protects maternal health, and
it's happened again... and the protective effect appears to be a dose
response. More BF appears to be more protective. However, the researchers
idea of greater duration and most of our ideas re: greater duration (and
amount of toddler intake) probably are different!
 See: Ram KT, et al  (2008). Duration of lactation is associated with lower
prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in midlife—SWAN, the study of women's
health across the nation . Am J OB & Gyn, 198(3), e268. Accessed
