Sorry, everyone, I made a mistake in my recent post about the relative risk of death for non-breastfed infants. I wrote, "Bahl et
al, using combined data from Ghana, India and
Peru, recently found the death rate to be 10.5%
higher in the period 6 weeks to 6 months." The relative odds ratio was 10.5, meaning it was 10.5 TIMES more likely to die if the infant was not breastfed, not 10.5% more likey. The rest of the post was all right. Again, my apologies for creating confusion on this point!
