Abstract
The authors studied 152 infants aged 28-364 days who had been admitted to hospital for pneumonia, and 2391 controls. Infants who were not being breastfed were 17 times more likely than those being breastfed without formula milk to be admitted to hospital for pneumonia. Supplementation with solids was associated with a relative risk of 13.
