Title:
On the Origin and Spread of the Notion that Breast-feeding Women Should Abstain from Sexual Intercourse [The author argues that the idea that sexual relations and a new pregnancy were injurious to a mother’s milk came from such ancient medical authorities as Galen and Soranus. Clerics like Ivo of Chartres picked up the idea and advised caution. However, it never had the status of a taboo. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
