I would be very interested in studies of BF mothers.   My 33 year old, Para
I daughter was breastfed for a year, but started weaning to whole milk at 7
months, per doctor's instructions.  She has gestational diabetes.  I also
recall horrible diaper rash started at the same time.  Wish I could go back
and nurse her as long as I did my next three.  We have a strong history of
diabetes in both families, but the breastfed members didn't develop it until
much later in life.  Wish I had been breastfed too!
