See 'A comparison of breast stimulation and intravenous oxytocin for the
augmentation of labor' by Peter Curtis et al, in BIRTH 26:2 June 1999,
pp.115-122
and 'Breast stimulation to augment labor: history, mystery and culture' by
Peter Curtis, same issue of BIRTH, pp.123-129.
The first article has 15 references to studies of nipple stimulation to
promote cervical ripening and induce labor. I can't face typing the list
onto a post, sorry.
