Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, new research on causes!

Hi all,
I just read an article on health.dailynewscentral.com that I thought
was pretty important about Sudden Infant Death syndrome, the leading
cause of death among infants. The article is about new research
showing that bedsharing causes/increases chances of suddent infant
death syndrome. This is especially likely in the case of parents that
smoke. But, even parents that don't smoke may be harming their child
by sleeping in the same bed as them!! You should read the article for
yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't smothering considered an
identifiable death and not SIDS? Why is that counted as SIDS death?

You're not wrong. Accidental suffocation is an official cause of death, and
not SIDS. SIDS is more a catch-all term for undetermined death in infants,
the post-natal version of SANDS - Sudden Antenatal Death Syndrome.

What is with all these articles? I tend to agree with Jamie. You get hold of
one study, this teeny tiny bit of information, and hype it up on MKP to get
a reaction. You never post anything else, and you've told us nothing about
yourself. Are you a troll?
The study was recently discussed on misc.kids.breastfeeding.

If you can't see that there's a big difference between parents setting up
for co-sleeping (which essentially means that the bed becomes a giant crib,
only one with mommy in it), and parents just putting the baby in their bed
as is because they don't have any other place to do it-or because it's
easier, then I think you need to go back and research what suggested
Co-sleeping is. I didn't co-sleep, precisely because I didn't meet the
standards to be able to do it.

Donna, she can't even tell there is a difference between SIDS and smothering
a baby with blankets! SIDS is "unexplained", it is not suffocation or
smothering. Co-sleeping accidents (almost always due to improper
co-sleeping or leaving the baby on a couch, etc) are smothering or
suffocation deaths, not SIDS.
Weirdest troll ever though.

It is all false:
SIDS is caused by uncarring parents and is promoted by Don Imus anual radio
telethon to raise money for his camp in New Mexico where he molestes
children of all ages.

I personally think that the article is based on common sense anyone, it has
been known for years that SIDS is a bigger risk to smoking parents babies
and that a baby should sleep in the same room as there parents for the first
6 months of live, its also common sense that you shouldnt really share a bed
with a baby as it could easily become smothed by the covers or pillows and
prehaps mum and dad could easily roll on baby by mistake in a dream if
parents were in a deep sleep. Also common sense not to fall asleep together
on a couch incase mother/father falls deeply asleep and baby falls on couch
and seriously hurts him/herself.

For most of the world and for most of human history it has been common
sense that a baby needs to be in bed with its mommy where it can be
safe and warm and connected and nursed on demand. I don't even have a
crib any more. What I have is a queen sized bed with a bed rail. Baby
sleeps between me and the rail. The grownup covers are on our part,
and she has her own blanket. Zero risk of smothering (no sober mother
rolls on a baby, any more than she would roll out of her bed onto the
floor), and a lower risk of SIDS than if she slept alone in a crib.

Delurking to say I have read the complete study and almost every one of
the babies who had passed, were in bed with a smoking parent.
What parent with any common sense would allow smoking around their
children knowing whether you sleep with them or not it could lead to
SID'S.

Still loving when my youngest girl at 19 comes for a visit and crawls into
bed with me...
