Breastfeeding after strenuous aerobic exercise: a case report.
There are no documented adverse effects of breastfeeding after long distance running. This case describes an exclusively breastfed baby who cried after being breastfed about 1-2 hours following his mother's 5-mile run. When artificial baby milk was substituted for the postrun feeding only, the inconsolable crying did not occur. Testing the mother's breast milk before and after running showed a similar level of lactic acid; no other component was tested. Further research is needed in this area.
