The Natural Choice Company, Inc. (makers of the Double-Up breast pump) prints
a handout titled "Some Benefits of Breastfeeding."  One of them says,
"Breastfed babies are less likely to die because of the protection breast
milk gives them.  In a risk/benefit analysis by the United States Institute
of Environmental Health Sciences, it was found that an estimated 4 out of
every 1000 babies die each year because they were not breastfed."  Does
anyone have any information about this institute?
