For Francoise, the Journal Of Pediatrics article on infant mortality due to
formula.
"Breastfeeding and health in the 1980's: A Global epidemiologic review"
Allen S. Cunningham, MD,  Derrick B. Jelliffe, MD, and E.F. Patrice
Jelliffe, MPH
It says it was reproduced with permission of Mosby-Year Book, Inc.
It was in the Journal of Ped. Volume 118, Number 5, May 1991
La Leche League sold the reprint for awhile.  That's where I bought it.
The article begins that EVERYONE knows that unsanitary bottle-feeding in the
Third World is deadly, we need to understand that formula is deadly
everywhere.
It gives various risks of formula for Egypt, Rwanda, England, USA (sudden
death and total infant mortality), Brazil, latin America, Malaysia,
Bangladesh.
It pays special attention to: Otitis media, Haemophilus influenzae
bacteremia, and meningitis, and respiratory infection.
Many thought the USA estimate of 4 per 1000 deaths from formula was
excessive.  Other countries are estimated up to 290 per 1000.  Consider all
the health care resources wasted in the USA to rescue the 286 infants in our
country that grow ill, but are saved by antibiotics etc.  Hope this helps
folks find the piece.  Pam Easterday  [log in to unmask]
