Congrats Alison, I'd love to see the original article. Is it  
available online? I looked on the magazine website, but didn't have  
any luck finding it.

It occurs to me that not breastfeeding must affect the mother's  
return to her non-pregnant hormonal state. Might that also affect her  
absorption or digestion of fatty acids etc.? Perhaps if a mother does  
not breastfeed it takes longer for the body to realize that it is no  
longer pregnant.
