SIDS book that will blow your mind....

[Peg]

My neice had a brand new mattress in a brand new crib using brand new linen in a brand new dress - all in a near new house.

I simply cannot see how toxicity could have played any part in her passing. My sister is OCD about germs and cleanliness. She wouldn't even let my kids stay in the same room as her kids when we stayed with her.

And considering these toxic gasses "cannot be detected in post mortem exams" - its hard to called it proven.

toxicity comes from more then just mattresses

immunisations are full of toxic substances....and babies get a hell of a lot of it in their first year of life http://poisonevercure.150m.com/ingredients.htm]Toxic Ingredients

Im not posting this to scare anyone from immunizations, but simply to recognize that they do infact contain substances are toxic, so we need to be aware of the dangers and make informed decisions for our children and minimize the risk factors if we possibly can.


I have immunized my kids btw... i just waited until they started school.

I think the biggest thing here is really that its a huge gaping difference between your mentality as a parent when you have not been touched by sids to when you have.. I do not mean that offensively at all!! I had 5 children before my niece passed away, and while I knew of SIDS and was scared of it, I would read the literature, then read some more here and there and formulate the best way I knew to protect my children from SIDS. I felt comfort in what I read to what I was doing. Hypothosies worked for me. It was just another something I could add to my arsenal of information to protect my babies.

I have only had one since then - and nothing, absolutely nothing sets my mind at ease. I sit in the same room on my bed next to her during every single daytime nap. If I have to be doing something else then I am walking into the room every 5 minutes. I don't fall asleep - I simply pass out from exhaustion while watching her sleep.

Nothing short of tested and retested unequivocal proof will ever set my mind at ease again.



However the real problem with going on about the red tape of red nose day and putting a downer on research foundations is that it is ignoring the work that they do to help and support families who have lost a child.

I think that is perfectly understandable given your circumstances. I do know people who have been affected with SIDS - although they are not close family or friends of mine.
Even eliminating what I believe to be the major risk factors doesn't stop me from checking on my baby when he sleeps from time to time. I acknowledge that I cannot control all factors in the universe and that sometimes - bad things just happen for no apparent reason.
It is my belief however (after reading the book), that sudden infant death is largely preventable. It just made so much sense to me, you know - there was no mystery in it - once explained there was just no doubting that I was holding truth between the pages. So I just felt compelled to share what I know - I cannot expect that every parent or reader will feel the same way.
But if there is a possibility that this thread enlightens 1 person to aquire the info that inspires them to make changes that prevent a SIDS incident - I'm glad that I posted it.

Enough waffling now - my house is a mess!

it is very hard to have a child's death to be classed as SIDs. infact there is now a law that if the death can not be decided upon(ie SIDs, suffocation), the parents can get charged.

OG, My sisters partner did not want a post mortem performed - not because he had anything to hide but he wanted his baby to be left alone. In the end they agreed to it because they threatened to take them to court for an order to allow it to happen and she would be held "in stasis" until then.


Anyway;
To get it classified as SIDS - which is not an actual diagnosis, but a diagnosis of exclusion, absolutely everything has to be within normal ranges and there literally be absolutely no evidence whatsoever of a cause.

So over here SIDS is SIDS, and Suffocation is "Fatal Sleep Accident".

ETA: Sorry if I have upset you, JB, but this is one issue very close to my heart.

Can you give us a link to this law (through austlii or other source)?
