PTH levels significantly increase in breastfeeding-only cases. Sera were corrected from a group of 79 post-partum subjects, which were then subdivided into those who either breastfed only (BF) or fed their infants artificial milk or a mix of both (Milk) for one month after partum. Indicated parameters were analyzed and compared between groups. Data represent mean levels of indicated parameters ± SD (n = 34 for BF, n = 45 for Milk; *p < 0.05, NS not significant). E2, estradiol; PTH, parathyroid hormone; IP, inorganic phosphorus; Cr, creatinine.
