The best place to start would be Michael Woolridge's chapter titled
"Baby-Controlled Breastfeeding: Biocultural Implications" from the edited
volume "Breastfeeding: Biocultural Perspectives."  Edited by Patricia
Stuart-Macadam and myself, published by Aldine de Gruyter.  1995.

The second reference I would give is Ann Millard's "The Place of the Clock
in Pediatric Advice: Rationales, Cultural Themes, and Impediments to
Breastfeeding," from the journal "Social Science and Medicine" Vol. 31, pp.
211-221.  1990
