Summary

This is a prospective observational trial of healthy postpartum women to investigate changes in bone density and markers of bone turnover during lactation. The study hypothesis is that women who breast-feed 5 months or more will lose bone density and subsequently regain the bone density after weaning. This study seeks to define determinants of the regain in bone density.
