Long time lurker here  :)

On the 2008 "Facts about Breastfeeding" tear-off from LLL, there are 3 
studies cited for "breastfeeding is associated with better-long term mental 
health outcomes."

-Sorensen, H.J. et al.  Early weaning and hospitalization with 
alcohol-related diagnoses in adult life.  Am J Psychiarty 2006; 163(4): 
704-709.

-Sorensen, H.J. et al.  Breastfeeding and risk of schizophrenia in the 
Copenhagen Perinatal Cohort.  Acta Psychiatr Scand 2005; 112: 26-29.

-Montogomery, S.M. et al.  Breastfeeding and resilience against psychosocial 
stress.  Arch Dis Child 2006; 91: 990-94.

I think these are relevant, espcially the last one.  :)
