Abstract
In developed countries, the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the lea‑ding cause of death in infants with the age group most affected the 2 to 5 months. Exclusive breastfeeding is considered the best option for feeding of children under 6 months of life. Breastfeeding has multiple benefits recognized in a short and long term for the newborn and for woman and even for the environment Given these two realities we considered important to found out if there is any known relationship between breastfeeding and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. An integrative literature review was taken using the databases EBSCOhost, b ‑On , RCAAP and SciELO. The final sample consisted on seven articles. We can conclude that there is a protective relationship. Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome in infants.
