I love this article, hope this is what you wanted.  I will post a bit of
it and the link.  I encourage everyone to read it, I think it is very
informative for moms not sure how long to breastfeed.
"IF YOU NURSE YOUR BABY FOR JUST A FEW DAYS, he will have received your
colostrum, or early milk. By providing antibodies and the food his
brand-new body expects, nursing gives your baby his first - and easiest -
"immunization" and helps get his digestive system going smoothly.
Breastfeeding is how your baby expects to start, and helps your own body
recover from the birth. Why not use your time in the hospital to prepare
your baby for life through the gift of nursing?"
