I've gotten a request for research and was hoping one of you all could help! I'm looking for research that shows the benefit of allowing unrestricted breastfeeding in the early days - not just the *frequency* of feed (for which I can find ample evidence) but also the duration of the feed (I'm looking on behalf of a postpartum nurse who would like to advocate to change her hospital's strict 15 min/side rule). I looked through ICLA's Clinical Guidelines and the Baby Friendly Initiative, but all the research I found was around frequency as well. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
