Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: breastfeeding reduced the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by 50% at all ages throughout infancy. We recommend including the advice to breastfeed through six months of age in sudden infant death syndrome risk-reduction messages.

Reviewers´ commentary: according to this well designed case control study with survival analysis, it seems reasonable to include breastfeeding during the first six months of age, among the messages to reduce the risk of SIDS.
