This is good news:

http://www.unicef.org.uk/BabyFriendly/News-and-Research/News/All-the-evidence-in-one-place---UNICEF-UK-publishes-e-book--supporting-the-new-Baby-Friendly-Standards/

UNICEF Baby Friendly have revised their standards and this free to 
download ebook has a super-chunky bunch of evidence to support it all.

There is a new focus onbreastfeeding as part of the  mother-baby 
relationship - Standard 2 for the section 'Parents' experiences' is 
actually "Support all mothers and babies to initiate a close 
relationship and feeding soon after birth. "

Standard 5 is "Support parents to have a close and loving 
relationship with their baby"

It's also good to see that the relevant government ministers from all 
four countries in the UK have lent their support with some kind words 
underlining how important breastfeeding is to public health and to 
family well-being.

Author of the ebook is research midwife Francesca Entwistle. A great job.
