i agree mayaness...people dont talk about it enough so they dont get judged or offend anyone, but the facts speak volumes. Noone can blame any single factor for sids, but i have read alot about possible contributors. Its called COT death for a reason! i think i read another post on here at some point about that, if there was a thing called 'chair death' we wouldnt sit our babies in a chair for 8-10 hours at a time, would we!? Like others have said, In Asian countries...Japan etc...SIDS cases are very low, and co-sleeping is the norm.
