I have been off Lactnet for awhile - but a great source of recent information is the 2 issues of Pediatric Clinics of North America entirely devoted to breastfeeding. Both the February and April 2001 issues are full of great articles written by various breastfeeding experts in medicine (and it is a journal respected by pediatricians and other physicians). In particular, there is an article entitled "Bioactive Factors in Human Milk" (Feb 2001) by Margit Hamosh, PhD and "Host Defense Benefits of Breastfeeding for the Infant" by M. Jane Heinig, Phd, IBCLC as well as articles about chronic disease and breastfeeding and brain development and breastfeeding. I finally had to break down and purchase both of these journals to add to my collection. I ordered online (WB Saunders) and felt the cost was very reasonable for the amount of info I received. Good luck in increasing his knowledge of breastfeeding!
