I have no facts to go on, but never the less believe that epidurals must
effect breastfeeding.  I have many midwife friends, whos populations of pts
seem to never have difficulty establishing breastfeeding.  Compare this to
the hospital birth population here, where 90% of moms have epidurals, and we
see so many early latch problems.  intersting to me, wish I hade the time or
money for research!
