Breastfeeding Prevents Hib

[cutekid]

I need the stats on Breastfeedings ability to prevent Hib. I have heard it before and I have read it on the net,...but cannot for the life of me find it.

The association of decreased risk for invasive HI infection and long duration of breastfeeding was persisting beyond the period of breastfeeding itself. This finding supports the hypothesis of a long-lasting protective effect of breastfeeding on the risk for invasive HI infection.

Not quiet what I am looking for. I am looking for the study that states 6 Weeks of breastfeeding is all an infant needs to prevent Hib.
