I have never heard anything to the effect that bf decreases uterine tone or in any way contributes to a slack uterus, etc. I am a bit surprised that someone would abruptly wean a baby on the advice of one person. I would certainly be curious to know where the physician got his information re: this connection. I have politely conferred with physicians in the past , asking them to share their references with me for my own edification. *smile* It is too bad for this particular mother and 2 year old. Does anyone else have any info on this that I am unaware of? Kathleen ********************************************************** Kathleen B.
