> Abstract: The article reports that delayed infant death follows
> catastrophic deterioration during breast-feeding. Breast-feeding
> asphyxia leading to catastrophic deterioration and death is exceedingly
> rare and most frequently associated with maternal distraction and/or
> fatigue. Breast-feeding mothers must be advised to pay careful attention
> to the potency of the infant's airway during breast-feeding to safeguard
> against accidental suffocation. Compromise of the infant's mobility and
> obstruction of the mother's view of her baby may increase the risk of
> oronasal obstruction during breast-feeding. Given the preventable nature
> of this event, breast-feeding should be encouraged provided there are no
> medical contraindications.
