A parent-l member was asking for studies that indicated the benefits of
attachment parenting and extended breastfeeding.  Her marriage counsellor
is somewhat opposed to these, as is her husband, and she is looking for
some evidence to help support her parenting style.  I suspect, for the
reasons Katherine D. described in her post about the myths surrounding
extended bf, that few studies will have looked at this topic.  But if
there are any, I would love to hear about them.
