Kristi:  I am reading Lactnet as I open my mail this morning.  And lo and 
behold, I received a book from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 
(United States) titled:  "Breastfeeding and Maternal and Infant Outcomes in 
Developed Countries".  In it, there is a section on SIDS/breastfeeding in which 
the authors state that when they reviewed literature dating back to 1997.  
They found that "an overall crude risk of SIDS was twice as great for formula-
fed infants compared with breastfed infants".  The purpose of this report 
seems to be a review of the literature in regards to a variety of topics:  otitis 
media, diabetes (Type 1 &2), cardiovascular disease, NEC, SIDS etc. in 
relation to breastfeeding.
A single copy of the book is available for free (or it can be downloaded for 
free) from:  www.ahrq.gov.
