Breast-Feeding Reduces Risk for Multiple Sclerosis Relapses
Allison Gandey

 June 8, 2009 — Study results are now published suggesting that
women with multiple sclerosis (MS) may reduce their risk for relapses
after pregnancy by breast-feeding.
"Our findings call into question the benefit of choosing not to breast-
feed
or stopping breast-feeding early to start taking MS therapies," lead
author
Annette Langer-Gould, MD, from Stanford University, in California,
said
in a news release.

The findings are published online June 8 and are scheduled to appear
in the August issue of the Archives of Neurology.
First presented at the American Academy of Neurology 61st Annual
Meeting, in Seattle, Washington, the authors anticipated that the
study
would raise some eyebrows.

This is controversial.


"This is controversial," Dr. Langer-Gould told Medscape Neurology
before the April meeting.
For nearly a decade, many physicians have encouraged MS patients
to restart medication as quickly as possible after pregnancy, and
many women have chosen not to breast-feed their babies for this
reason.

These new results suggest breast-feeding and the suppression of
menses
significantly reduce the risk for postpartum relapses in MS.

The investigators prospectively followed 32 pregnant women with MS
and 29 age-matched pregnant controls.
They conducted structured interviews to assess clinical, menstrual,
and
breast-feeding history during each trimester and up to a year after
the
women gave birth. Investigators adjusted hazard ratios for measures
of
disease severity and age.

About half of the women with MS (52%) did not breast-feed or began
regular supplemental bottle feedings within 2 months of giving birth.
Most experienced a relapse compared with those who breast-fed
exclusively
for at least 2 months (adjusted hazard ratio, 7.1; 95% CI, 2.1 – 24.3;
P = .002).

Postpartum Relapse Based on Breast-Feeding Status

Breast-Feeding  Relapse (%)
None or some with supplemental bottle feedings  87
Exclusively  36


The majority of MS patients reported that the primary reason for
foregoing
breast-feeding was to resume medications.
But women who breast-fed exclusively had a later return of menses
(P = .001), and this was associated with a reduced risk for
postpartum
relapses (P = .01).

The authors suggest that these findings, although promising, should
be
confirmed in a larger analysis.
"Our study is limited by the small sample as well as our inability to
fully
separate out the effects of postpartum MS treatment from nonexclusive
breast-feeding on postpartum relapses."

"To our knowledge," they add, "our study is the first prospective
cohort
study to address this question and fills an important gap in
knowledge
that cannot be addressed in a randomized trial.
Other strengths are the inclusion of healthy controls, the long
duration
of follow-up, and the rigorous statistical methods."

Dr. Langer-Gould and her team conclude that women with MS should
be encouraged to breast-feed exclusively for at least the first 2
months
postpartum instead of starting immunomodulatory agents shortly after
delivery.

"These findings highlight the need to critically evaluate the efficacy
of
early postpartum treatments in MS, especially if they are not
compatible
with lactation," the researchers note.

They also suggest that ongoing and future studies of postpartum
disease
activity in MS — particularly treatment trials — should distinguish
between exclusive and nonexclusive breast-feeding and account for it
in
their analyses.

This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the
Wadsworth Foundation.
