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.
