Wise ones,

I have heard the statistic that for every 1000 babies born in the US, four 
babies die a year because they were not breastfed.

Is this accurate data? IF so...do we know WHY these babies died? Can anyone 
point me in the right direction for obtaining evidence to support this?

Thank you in advance,

Mary Anderson
