There is a TON of research to support this...check the references for
Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. Step 4. Try  Baby Friendly USA in MA:
they have a "Ten Steps Bibliography - a collection of article supporting
each of the ten steps to successful breastfeeding." Their phone is
508-888-8044. You can also try Riordan & Auerbach, Rl Lawrence, NAACOG's
Clinical Issues in Perinatal & Women's Health Nursing (1992), The
Support of Breastfeeding (Black, Jarman, Simpson 1998) and any other
up-to-date book on breastfeeding. Search also for the following authors:
Righard, Widstrom or Woolridge. Perhaps if I have time I'll type up a
list later and post it........in my spare time.
