I would cut the "bf benefits" stuff and speak of the risks of not breaastfeeding instead. You don't have to come off as mean but simply alter what you say. "Babies have a higher risk of SIDS when not breastfed" instead of "breastfed babies have a reduced risk of SIDS." We should be thinking of bf as the normal, natural standard - anything else should be "risky" or "beneficial." Not the other way around. And the more numbers you can find (X times the risk), the better.
