I think the person asking for evidence of why this is important is missing  
the fact that "breastfeeding" is the norm for babies not bottle-feeding.   So 
for all babies; they have the opportunity to feed from different sides and  
positions, have skin-to-skin contact with feedings, be touched and stoked along  
with their own touching and stroking.  There is really no one thing that  can 
be said about the importance of alternating sides with feeding, it is the  
importance of what breastfeeding offers a baby and how to replicate that  
whenever and as much as possible.
