What's your hypothesis? Mine is that yes, fewer babies will die from SIDS while sucking on a breast than on a pacifier. Ditto. Also, look at Japan for instance. Their SIDS rate is substantially lower than here in the US. They had a whole campaign about how babies should not be left alone while sleeping and to breastfeed as much as possible. They are pretty big on co-sleeping there from what I know. However, when they immigrate to the US after time their SIDS rate becomes the same as ours---because they pick up American "habbits" so to speak. ---Christina Costa, LLLL, Broward County, FL _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search.
