Dear Cathy:
Here's part of a LACTNET post in which I included some references used at a
recent LLL conference.
<<Some references for anyone wanting to learn more about this topic are

"Breastfeeding and the Sexual Abuse Survivor" presented by Deirdre Knowles,
MA at the LLL of Washington Area Conference on October 7th, 2000.

Also, what about James McKenna's "When Breastfeeding isn't Contraindicated"
in Breastfeeding Abstracts? That's a great (short) article on why to take
the protection of breastfeeding far more seriously than most folks do.
Hope this is helpful.
