Other options to find references of a medical nature is Breastfeeding
Abstracts, a quarterly publication on published research concerning
breastfeeding. It is available from LLLI by subscription (#192,
$12.50/year).

Also there is the Center for Breastfeeding Information (LLLI Pamphlet #
471) which is a data base that keeps track of literature, current
references, bibliographic lists and general information.
