Breastfeeding and long‐term maternal metabolic health in the HUNT Study: a longitudinal population‐based cohort study

Breastfeeding (BF) has been reported to improve long-term maternal metabolic health in observational studies, but not in the randomised controlled PROBIT study. Research also suggests that maternal pre-pregnant metabolic health may affect BF. We aimed to disentangle effects of BF on long-term maternal metabolic health from effects of pre-pregnant metabolic health on BF duration and long-term metabolic health.Longitudinal population-based cohort...
