There was actually an article in  Pediatrics several years ago that said 
this very thing -- 17 years to put  research into practice -- so that number 
actually comes from  somewhere.
 
I think about the work done by Anne  Marie Widstrom and Lennart Righard 
about babies being able to self attach --  1990 -- the video that was done 
about babies crawling to the breast (circa 1994)  in the delivery room....and 
yet we really didn't pay much attention to it until  Suzanne Colson did her 
work on biological nurturing in 2008.  Though Tina  Smillie had that lovely 
video out on The Mother Baby Dance earlier than  that.  But look how long that 
has taken!!
