Jeffrey,
        Awesome letter!  What a great idea.  I do have two suggestions --
one is to reword the sentence about SIDS, because as it reads now it makes
it sound like YOUR BABY WILL NOT DIE OF SIDS IF YOU BREASTFEED.  You need to
word it like the other diseases, that breastfeeding reduces the risk of
dying of SIDS.  Also, I would like to see a short paragraph about how
breastfeeding helps the mother too (less postpartum bleeding, quicker return
of uterus to pre-pregnancy size and shape, calming and relaxing hormones to
help deal with new baby, less breast cancer in mother -- and child [was that
on your list of benefits?].  What do you think?  Appeal to their selfishness!
