The one citation I have found about BF and child abuse is:

        A retrospective review of 800 pregancies at one family practice revealed
an association between lack of breastfeeding and physical and sexual abuse of
the mother and/or her children.  This anecdotal association, has not been
previously reported, is worth further study using more rigorous methods.
Acheson, L., "Family Violence and Breast-feeding"       Arch Fam Med  July 1995;
Vol 4,pp 650-652


This is a small study but the only one thus far published.
