Whoop whoop, that’s the sound of the breast feeding police!
Fact is that most of this is, at best, pseudo science and shouldn’t be spread. There’s nothing wrong with breast feeding, but it’s treated like a religion.
Correlating breast feeding with SIDS is some ol’ bullshit. Be better. link
I’ll agree that there’s a lot of conflicting information when it comes to parenting, it’s called the mommy wars for a reason. But, I’ll disagree with you that I provides pseudoscience. I’ll direct you specifically to references 11 through 13 in the link I provided. They are dated, but peer-reviewed.
I’m also confused by your link, it appears to be a meta-analysis which “found ample evidence that both breastfeeding and [pacifier] use reduced the risk of SIDS.”
Overall, I like Cribsheet’s stance again - the best baby is a fed baby, the difference between a breastfed baby and a formula-fed baby are very minor and do not result in any persistent, dramatic differences.
This could be an automated reply based on keywords in your comment. If so, then I imagine the bot was likely meant to argue with anyone who said breastfeeding increased SIDS risk.
As a FTM this year, I am so tired of the mom police saying everything is dangerous without really understanding the contributing factors to go with the risk, and without considering the magnitude of the risk. Yesterday I saw a lady getting corrected online about babywearing while toe deep on the edge of a creek because she might fall in the shallow water and her baby would drown.
