Narelle Clark asked for references on BF being protective for SIDS. There's a
consistent trend of 3-5 times higher risk in bottlefed babies. Here's a
bibliography I compiled two years ago on infant sleep, SIDS, and related
issues.  Please credit me if you use it intact.

Lactnet and e-mail me so I can continue to compile this bibliography.
