Here is another reference for the effect of breastfeeding on SIDS:
Fredrickson DD, et al. Relationship between sudden infant death syndrome and
breastfeeding intensity and duration. Am J Dis Child 1993; 147:460
It states, "the risk of SIDS for black infants increased by 1.19 for every month
of not breastfeeding, and 2.13 for every month of not exclusively
breastfeeding. Among white infants, the risk increased by 1.19 and 2.0 times,
respectively."
I do not have the complete article, just this reference and quote.
