The literature seems to be clear that BF decreases incidence of
SIDS...unfortunately early pacifier use (BF competition) is also written as a
factor decreasing it.

The below citation seems to be a safe way to cite FF increases the SIDS risk.

Acta Paediatr 1998 Oct;87(10):1028-32,Sleeping position, breastfeeding,
bedsharing and passive smoking in 3-month-old Swedish infants.  Lindgren C,
Thompson JM, Haggblom L, Milerad J  "Those mothers who did not comply with
official recommendations regarding infant sleeping position were also less
likely to follow other recommendations concerning infant care practices.
Prone sleeping infants were more likely to be formula fed and exposed to
passive smoking, and hence associated with additional risk factors for sudden
infant death syndrome."
