Dear Kathy Kerr,

Please share the source of this information.  This is one of those juicy
little facts that I love to tell mothers about the benefits of breastfeeding
- the additional fat is designed as a source of food for the baby.  I
remember hearing that during lactation is the only time you can actually LOSE
fat cells, but I never knew the source of these little gems.  I'd love to
hear more.
