In Australia, the organisation that produces SIDS material has always been cautious about the breastfeeding angle. They will say "To reduce the risk of SIDS, don't smoke, don't like the baby on its stomach etc" but always insist on qualifying the breastfeeding recommendation: "Breastfeed if possible". Now I have just been informed that they have dropped the breastfeeding info altogether from their new poster. They say they have recently reviewed the research evidence and now believe that their is no protective effect from breastfeeding at all! Where do I get hold of a copy of: >"Safe from SIDS" by Katy Koontz, Parenting, August 1996 discusses ways to >reduce risk of SIDS >and includes co-sleeping and breastfeeding as recommendations. Sidebars on >current avenues >of research are presented, >Laurie Wheeler, Rnc, Mn, Ibclc and what other information should I quote when I write to them to complain? Lesley McBurney Brisbane, Australia
