Q: Can breastfeeding and pregnancy lead to bone loss?
I have just found out that I am pregnant and I've been reading some books which say that calcium needs are much higher during pregnancy as the baby draws from the mothers supply. If this is the case do pregnancy and breastfeeding increase bone loss?
