The PROBIT trial in Belarusse is the one I know about.

Kramer et al. Promotion of bf intervention trial. JAMA 2001; 285;
413-20. It's a nice big trial - over 16000 mother and baby pairs -
and shows BFHI babies were significntly more likely to be bf at 3
mths and 6 mths compared to the controls. There were also significant
health gains.
