Phyll:  You raise some interesting points about Fleming's article.  One
other interesting point about his research which didn't make the
abstracts:  At a lecture that Dr. Fleming gave regarding this study, he
said that although there was no overall reduced incidence of SIDS for the
breastfed babies, there *was* a dose-response curve within the breastfed
group, i.e. the more exclusively they were breastfed, the lower the risk.
Interesting stuff.  Regards, Alicia Dermer, MD, IBCLC.
