Patients with RA in the PreCARA cohort were more likely to breast feed their offspring compared with patients with RA in the historical reference cohort. The breastfeeding rates observed were similar to breastfeeding rates among women in the general population. The increase in breast feeding among patients with RA may be due to the extension of lactation-compatible medication and pregnancy counselling.
