I didn't see the original post about this, but I did a review article in
JHL a few years ago about fathers and bfing.

Bar-Yam NB and Darby, L. "Breastfeeding and Fathers: A Review of the
Literature," Journal of Human Lactation 13 (1) March, 1997.

There is more updated material, but this should get you started. I have
also recently done some work in this area, so if the original poster want
to email me privately to let me know just what you're looking for, I'll
do what I can to help.
