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!
