Hi Lacnetters,

I thought I would share those references with all of you as I receive so
much from Lactnet. Kathy asked for published studies on suctionning of
newborn infants and Bf, and on the use of medication during labor and
delivery and its effects on Bf. Here is what I have found as of now in my
piles not yet in files:

Paediatr Scand 76:566-572
