Breastfeeding and Biopsies

Ok, so we all know that breastfeeding reduces the chances of breast cancer. I don't have exact numbers on hand, but basically the longer you breastfeed, the more you reduce your chances of getting breast cancer. And since there is breast cancer on BOTH sides of my family (YIKES!) I definitely plan on letting Claire self-wean...be that at 3 or 4...after that we'll have to see...anyway...we'll see where we are at at that point! Ok, so here is some more breast cancer related info for you breastfeeding mommas: http://crunchydomesticgoddess.com/2009/02/03/breastfeeding-scheduled-for-a-biopsy-read-this-and-pass-it-on/
