Have you read any of Gene Anderson's work? She did a lot of work on KC & is
very supportive of breastfeeding. Then there is Richart's work on infants
self-attaching at the breast published in Lancet in 1990 (I think) -also on
video tape from Kitty Franz/Geddes Prod. (I have this info at work, can send
it later if needed.)
