Wow!  Just caught the tail end of a CNN headline news flash that said a new
study just published (didn't catch where) found that 55% of SIDS deaths
could have been prevented by BREASTFEEDING.  In other words, to
Wiesiingerize that, 55% of SIDS deaths can be attributed to formula-feeding.
  Another 27% can be attributed to second-hand smoke.  This study found no
difference in SIDS deaths based on sleeping position (front or back).  Very
interesting . . . .

If someone can find the original study, please post the reference.
