Of course!  TONS.  I'm not the president of the James McKenna Fan Club for
nothing.  Seriously Kjetil, if you send me your regular street address by
private e-mail ([log in to unmask]) I will be more than happy to send you
reprints of James McKenna and Nicole Bernshaw's chapter summarizing all the
research on this, from "Breastfeeding: Biocultural Perspectives" (a new book
on breastfeeding co-edited by myself and Patricia Stuart-Macadam).
