If I'm not mistaken Diane Weissinger wrote a wonderful piece on benefits
of
breastfeeding starting with one nursing.
Here is a list of her writings.

does anyone have the URL for the piece I am thinking of? Is my memory
correct that it was written by Diane.

There's also the piece 101 reasons to breastfeed (complete with
references)
