How about the AAP policy statement on Breastfeeding and the Use of
Human Milk?
http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;115/2/496
Recommendation #4 is, "Supplements (water, glucose water, formula,
and other fluids) should not be given to breastfeeding newborn
infants unless ordered by a physician when a medical indication
exists." There are five references cited for this recommendation.
Warmly,
