CI 1.66 to 2.68). A more recent meta-analysis using more selective criteria found that breastfeeding was associated with a reduction in SIDS risk (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.81).* Two systematic reviews found an association between SIDS and lack of soother or pacifier use. One of the two systematic reviews pooled data, and found a reduced risk of SIDS with pacifier use when used for sleep (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.85). Some national campaigns have included advice to breastfeed, in addition to recommendations on other risk factors, and the contribution of breastfeeding to the observed reduction in SIDS is unclear. The authors found no clinically important results from RCTs this systematic review, we present information relating to the effectiveness and safety of the following interventions: advice to avoid prone sleeping; advice to avoid tobacco-smoke exposure; advice to avoid soft sleeping surfaces; advice to avoid overheating or overwrapping; advice to avoid bed sharing; advice to breastfeed; advice to promote soother/pacifier use; and advice to promote room sharing (without bed sharing). We found no systematic review or RCTs studying the effects of interventions to reduce the risk of SIDS due to the obvious difficulties in performing these trials. Therefore, we report only observational
