Hi, I'm a LLL Leader in Michigan. I have a mother who has a 4 mos. old and has had milk supply problems and is considering weaning. Her husband has chronic ulcerative colitis. She has heard that breasfteeding may decrease the risk of her son having this problem. Does anyone know where and how I can obtain the research information on this for her and do you have any knowledge of this protective benefit from breastfeeding? I searched the Lactnet archives, and found statements that said it may provide protection, but this mother would like to read the research. Thanks! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
