    The "dont sleep babies on their back" campaign more than halved the number of cot deaths in Australia each year.
    Yes. I'm sorry if I downplayed this important factor. However, this truth supports the toxic gas mattress chemical link, and yet the medical establishment refuses to accept it as a valid or likely cause (or even a potential link), despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I also want to say that the main doctor behind the toxic gas research is a chemist and forensic scientist. Therefore he is one of those people who are dedicated to their field and probably being paid pittance to do so. He has nothing to gain financially or professionally from educating parents about his research findings (other than save lives)- and he has been fighting an uphill battle with his own community of medicine for over a decade. He has even received death threats and yet he continues to push the truth as he knows it.

    As a side note, I am only comfortable co-sleeping or sleeping my babies on their tummy because I have eliminated what I believe to be related risks of toxicity, however I would not feel comfortable encouraging another parent to do the same had they not addressed these issues first. I just wanted to make that clear.
