A systematic review of the literature associating breastfeeding with type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes.

As diabetes becomes more prevalent in younger women, diabetes and maternal-child health issues such as breastfeeding co-exist with increasing frequency.

The Medline database from 1966-2003, relevant references of selected articles, the Cochrane database, and the NIH Clinical Trials website were searched.
