“…Rates of smoking during pregnancy decreased from 16.0% in 1987 34 to 10.2% in 2011, 35 for example, and initiated breastfeeding increased from 56.3% 36 to 83.9%. 35 In addition, developments such as the use of antenatal steroids, which tripled from 1991-1999, 37 leading to reductions in respiratory distress of the newborn and intraventricular hemorrhage, may also have played a role in reducing SIDS mortality rates. Similarly, increasing access to prenatal care over the study period, with its potential to affect adverse intrauterine environments, reducing risk for intrauterine growth retardation and preterm birth in particular (themselves risks for SIDS), 38 is another plausible influence on intrinsic risk.…”

Overall Postneonatal Mortality and Rates of SIDS

BACKGROUND: Reductions in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are commonly attributed to modifications in infant sleep environments. Approaches to diagnosis in sudden infant death, death scene investigations, the prevalence of intrinsic risk factors for SIDS, and the potential influence of treatment-related factors on infant vulnerability have also changed. Understanding all contributory factors may help reduce residual SIDS rates.

Breast milk and lipid intake distributions for assessing cumulative exposure and risk

Breast milk consumption is the primary route of infant exposure to certain lipophilic toxicants that have accumulated over decades in maternal adipose tissue, as well as to less persistent toxicants from maternal exposure during lactation. Such infant exposures occur at a time of rapid growth and development when susceptibility to certain toxicants can be greatest. Breast milk and lipid intake rates are presented for the 0-6 and 0-12 month age periods for infants fed according to the American Academy of Pediatrics' current recommendations (exclusive breast-feeding for 0-6 months and continued breast-feeding to 12 months). Intake rates are normalized to infant bodyweight to account for the covariance of consumption and bodyweight. Frequency distributions describe the population variability in intake. For age 0-12 months, daily average milk intake is 100.7722.7 g/kg day (mean7SD), with a 95th percentile of 153.5 g/kg day. Breast milk intake distributions are also developed for infants exclusively breast-fed (no significant calories from non-breast milk sources) over their first year, and for the entire (nursing and non-nursing) infant population. For short-term exposures, intake can be derived from the regression equation presented here. Lipid intake estimated assuming a 4% lipid content (current risk assessment practice) is compared and found comparable to that derived from measured lipid content. The national trend of increased breast-feeding found in surveys further supports including the breast milk pathway in risk assessment.

“…Despite the incomplete coverage of the RLMS and a low response rate that is common among mail surveys (approximately 45% over the time period of interest), its national breastfeeding prevalence estimates are very similar to those produced using several other well known national surveys, including the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (Hediger et al 2001;Ryan et al 1991). Moreover, national trends in breastfeeding (from 1955 to 1987) and differentials across socio-demographic characteristics are similar in the RLMS and the NSFG (Ryan et al 1991).…”

Reardon, two anonymous referees, and the editor for helpful comments. The opinions and conclusions expressed herein are solely those of the authors and should not be construed as representing the opinions or policy of any of the sponsors or related agencies. ABSTRACTA central theme of welfare reform is recipients are required to engage in work activities. In many states these work requirements apply to mothers whose children are a few months old, potentially increasing the costs and decreasing the prevalence of breastfeeding. Given the substantial benefits of breastfeeding, any reduction represents an important negative consequence of these requirements. Our results suggest that, in the absence of welfare reform, the national breastfeeding rate six months after birth would have been 5.5% higher in 2000. Such negative consequences of these policies must be weighed against potential benefits as states refine their welfare programs.
