I'm currently preparing an advocacy statement for a 20 month old, female 
child.

The father is arguing that breastfeeding is a control mechanism by the 
mother.

The maternal grandmother died of breast cancer at a young age.  The 
mother is aware that the longer she can maintain breastfeeding, the more 
the risks of both her, and her daughter, developing breast cancer, are 
mitigated.

I'm therefore looking for cites, on breast cancer risk and breastfeeding 
- much of what I've found on established sites, such as Kellymom etc, 
are quite old.  I'd be really happy if one could be found with a nice 
pithy line to quote, about the duration of breastfeeding being an 
important factor.  :-)

Many thanks...

Morgan Gallagher
