I want to signpost you to a great resource, one not often mentioned on lactnet -- the UK Baby Friendly Initiative website. http://www.babyfriendly.org.uk/page.asp?page=13 this is the link to the research area. They have mini-evaluations of research and this is searchable. If you go to the page just now one of the highlighted papers is about low birth weight babies; htere is a link in the sidebar to a review of the recent WHO review of the research on feeding preterm babies. These might have info you need. For anyone looking for info on breastfeeding topics, this can be a useful resource!!
