I am doing research on the impact of BF peer counselors. I can find all kinds
of information about the efficacy of these programs, but I am having trouble
finding anything about the history and evolution of these programs. I have
googled and searched Pubmed.

Were these programs originally based on the mother-to-mother support model of
LLLI? 
Which came first the WIC peer counselor program or LLLI peer counselor
program? 
What about the WHO/UNICEF programs? Did they come later? What's the timeline
for all this? 
What were the resources used to design the WHO/UNICEF BF counselor training
materials? Also for WIC?

Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. Especially any
primary references that discuss this.
