Try T. Berry Brazelton--he's one of the most widely cited pediatricians in recent years. And he has written specifically about breast feeding.

Try to cover feeding by artificial means eg bottle feeding does not always mean artificial nutrient eg formula milk . Since the Egyptians there have been use of bottles but formula milk was created to supposedly help with malnutrition and has been subverted by economic forces into an instrument of cultural meaning for vulnerable groups in other continents or are you looking a child rearing with a 'white two parent middle class scenario'- ?
