a naturopath that i knew told me there was also a link between imunisations and sids *apparantly* in japan they dont immunise till the children are 2 and sids is extremely low compared to us... not sure how credible the info is tho.

I give my little one a dummy to go to bed (only in the last 2 weeks she has started taking a dummy) because she usually feed herself to sleep and when i take the booby away she wakes so a dummy for me has been a godsend, however I take it out once she has fallen into a deep sleep. I do know what you mean lucy about interfering with nature...
