I'm in the process of writing a letter of support for a grant application. We're working on a grant to fight obesity in a little village here in southern Vermont. I wanted to say that breastfeeding moms make healthy lifestyle choices for their kids, and so the whole family will be healthier (and hopefully less obese!) when moms breastfeed.
 
Now, I have seen mothers who continued to abstain from smoking, cocaine and heroin addicts who stay clean so they can breastfeed, and alcoholics who feel breastfeeding has helped them to continue in recovery.
 
But I cannot find any studies! Any ideas? (I have looked!)
