Linda,

I don't have any studies at my finger tips but you might 
suggest her reading "The Continum Concept" or visiting 
their web site.

I find it amazing the number of WIC moms over the years 
who have sat in their office and in front of their 
children point to the ones that breastfeed and said, 
"they are healthier, they are smarter and they are calmer 
children, I wish I had know with the first ones".  It's 
like their own little controlled experiment.  

The story that a Lactnerer told a few months ago about 
doing the same activity with a group of LLL children 
versus another group of children at a picnic was really 
telling.  I have shared that story a number of times.

Good luck in finding the studies,
Karen
