I have something VERY unpopular to say, so please forgive me when you read it: SIDS effects less than 1/10 of 1% of babies (2500 SIDS vs. over 4 million births). The irony of this is that the new recommendations will negatively impact more than 70% (or greater) of babies in this country. Sometimes I am ashamed to be a nurse in the USA. What has our culture come to? Is no one looking at the REAL reason a pacifier is used in the first place? At my workplace we see 2-3 SIDS a year and SMOKING seems to be the biggest denominator for us. Seems like again, the AAP cannot look past the bottle-fed culture. It is not difficult to figure out with the monies being exchanged. Again, I am sorry if I have offended. Warmly, Pam, who has just about seen it all with all these efforts to sabotage directly/indirectly breastfeeding and how medicine continues to only look at fatalities instead of overall public health. __________________________________ Yahoo!
