61 The distinction between exclusive breastfeeding and partial breastfeeding in the analyses of the association between breastfeeding and the risk for childhood leukemia is essential given that the addition of infant formula, together with breast milk or instead of it, changes the infant's gut microbiota, affecting the immunology of the infant.62, 63 Thus, misclassification might weaken the association between breastfeeding and lower risk for childhood leukemia.

Two later studies not included in these meta - analyses reported equivalent or even larger protective associations.265, 266 The mechanism for this apparent strong protective effect is still unclear, but lowered arousal thresholds, favorable modification of autonomic control during sleep, and maintaining airway patency during sleep have been proposed.247, 267, — , 270 It is common for the pacifier to fall from the mouth soon after the infant falls asleep; even so, the protective effect persists throughout that sleep period.247, 271 Two studies have shown that pacifier use is most protective when used for all sleep periods.169, 266 However, these studies also showed increased risk of SIDS when the pacifier was usually used but not used the last time the infant was placed for sleep; the significance of these findings is yet unclear.

A recent meta - analysis of 11 studies that investigated the association of bed - sharing and SIDS revealed a summary OR of 2.88 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.99 — 4.18) with bed - sharing.158 Furthermore, bed - sharing in an adult bed not designed for infant safety exposes the infant to additional risks for accidental injury and death, such as suffocation, asphyxia, entrapment, falls, and strangulation.159, 160 Infants, particularly those in the first 3 months of life and those born prematurely and / or with low birth weight, are at highest risk, 161 possibly because immature motor skills and muscle strength make it difficult to escape potential threats.158 In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have been increased reports of SUIDs occurring in high - risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 165
