I'm an IBCLC practicing in a hospital. We see inpatients and outpatients,
do staff and resident training, and work closely with public health and LLL
in our community.
Last week I had calls from daycare providers who had attended a SIDS
prevention class sponsored by one of the counties we serve. The PHN
teaching the class had made a point of telling these 100 people that
breastfeeding was no longer considered protective of SIDS.
I talked with the supervisor in the office and sent her the four references
used in Lawrence's newest edition.
I received a note back from the PHN calling these studies "outdated" and
enclosing the AAP Task Force page from Pediatrics, Vol. 105, No. 3, March
2000, stating that breastfeeding can no longer be recommended as a strategy
in SIDS prevention.
I am aware of the meta-analysis published in JHL Feb. 2000. I didn't see
evidence for an all or nothing recommendation. What are others doing with
this?
Many thanks.
