It has long been believed that having lots of children and starting to give birth in your twenties, reduced a mother’s risk of developing breast cancer.
Having your first child after the age of 30 was always believed to increase the mother’s risk of developing breast cancer.
New research suggests that the benefit of reduced risk for breast cancer can include mothers who had their first child after the age of twenty-five…as long as they breastfeed.
