There is good evidence that breastfeeding is protective against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. There is a dose-response relationship, which is good evidence for causality. The risk is cut by about half, depending on how long breastfeeding continued for. This effect is not explained by socioeconomic factors. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29084835/ |

Is there? How were the controls selected in that study? Were they from people who were called on the phone, meaning the controls were from a group of people willing to talk to strangers about something as as deeply personal as having a child die of SIDS?
In this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2351639/
The controls were visited by the same home-visiting nurse, and it found no correlation.
