Mortality Among Infants Stirs American Scientists
The article notes Albert Leeds at Hoboken cites statistics showing infant mortality varies by feeding method. Of 100 breastfed infants eight die by year end, 18 of 100 fed by wet nurses die, and 51 of 100 fed on infant foods die within the first year.
