I recently read about a celebrity who stated that the secret to her slim figure is breastfeeding.
How many of you nursing moms think that's true?
Dr. Yvonne E. Vaucher wrote in the San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition's Breastfeeding Update newsletter in April 2006 that "Breastfeeding, compared to formula feeding will not prevent obesity. The protective effect of breastfeeding on overweight and obesity is small, but real and of significant public health impact."
Given that obesity in the U.S. is of epidemic proportions, if breastfeeding can help you achieve healthy weight a little faster, it certainly would be significant.
Your comments are welcome.
