Breastfeeding Can Reduce Risk Of Breast Cancer By David Bjerklie Time Magazine Published: July 29, 2002 GOT MILK? Doctors have long known that breast-feeding is good for baby and for Mom.  Here's one more reason:  an analysis of nearly 50 studies involving 150,000 women in 30 countries found that the number of children women bear and how long they breast-feed may help determine their chance of developing breast cancer. Women who had six or seven children and breast-fed each for two years had cancer rates less than half those of women who had two or three children and breast-fed them for only two months.  But women with few children can still reduce their cancer risk 5% by breastfeeding their babies another six months - no mean feat in our busy world.
