Even a single breast feeding session provides some benefits. According to my med school notes a single meal reduces the risk of SIDS by x36 compared to no breast feeding. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sudden-infant...

Where on this page is there support for your "reduce risk of SIDS by x36" claim? Or that a single session is enough?

Sorry for the confusion. The x36 I copied from a lecture given by a senior obstetrician. The link was to provide background info on SIDS.

Please don't post like this to HN. It poisons the ecosystem and destroys what HN is supposed to be for. Someone posting an incorrect number through what was most likely a typo or transcription error does not deserve to have a ton of internet bricks dropped on them, which is basically what you did here. You can provide correct information without treating others that way.

/years/weeks/ right?

Maybe it was hyperbole. Some hardcore breastfeeding advocates say it should be done until the kid is 3 or 4 years old.
