Long time lurker here :)
On the 2008 "Facts about Breastfeeding" tear-off from LLL, there are 3
studies cited for "breastfeeding is associated with better-long term mental
health outcomes."
-Sorensen, H.J. et al. Early weaning and hospitalization with
alcohol-related diagnoses in adult life. Am J Psychiarty 2006; 163(4):
704-709.
-Sorensen, H.J. et al. Breastfeeding and risk of schizophrenia in the
Copenhagen Perinatal Cohort. Acta Psychiatr Scand 2005; 112: 26-29.
-Montogomery, S.M. et al. Breastfeeding and resilience against psychosocial
stress. Arch Dis Child 2006; 91: 990-94.
I think these are relevant, espcially the last one. :)
