Want evidence for baby protected by mom's immunities while BFing

I have heard that if mom is vaccinated that those immunities will protect the baby as long as it is breastfeeding. It makes sense to me but I am looking for some solid academic evidence... can anyone point me toward some?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=breastfeeding%20immunity

 

http://www.jaoa.org/cgi/content/full/106/4/203 this one gives a good explanation with citations

Also, mom need not be vaccinated. She will also pass along immunities she acquired naturally. So, if mom gets sick before or along with baby, it can help baby to not get sick, or to recover more quickly.

Thanks! Makes me feel better about delaying vax, and gives me something to take to my Dr.
