New findings on the cause of SIDS!

This link to a ground breaking article written in England was given to me by a friend. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is horrible, and this article deserves reading. I guess the main thing it says to me is that breastfeeding your baby every 1 -1/2 to 3 hours at night is best way to keep your baby's glucose levels up. The babies that are left to sleep the night are in the gravest danger.

SIDS is a tragedy and over the years I have read various theories as to its cause and none of them seem to last. These tiny children who leave the world barely touched are angel spirits.

I ought to add that the night feeding was mainly for very tiny babies.
Agreed Princess, very sad business.
