Hi Gonneke,
I was also considering how this study might be extrapolated to Australia. My
understanding however, if that you really need to have similar under 1
mortality rates and similar breastfeeding rates to be able to do this. We
have similar mortality rates (a little lower) but our breastfeeding rates
are very, very different so it is difficult to do. There may be other
factors that need to be considered, I'm no expert on this sort of thing.

> I'm wondering about this ''deaths due to not being breastfed ever'' of
around 750 USA children a year and how it might relate to overall cribdeath
figures and if it can be extrapolated to European countries? I mean, how
much per 1000 is 750 in the USA and what #per 1000 cribdeaths are noted in
the USA? Does this come anywhere near to each other?
