Breastfeeding women resorb trabecular bone to supply much of the calcium content of milk. Few studies have examined the speed and extent of BMD recovery after weaning, or the factors that predict a greater post-lactation increase in BMD. We hypothesize that weight-bearing, nutrition, hormones, and other factors facilitate bone formation after lactation.The aims of the Factors Affecting Bone Formation After Breastfeeding Pilot Study (FABB-Pilot) were to d...
