Every single one of my babies slept on their tummies. Babies like the snuggly type sleep. I did NOT have the quilts, wraps etc you see in the baby beds parents use. Like you, I see on the back a big time chance of the baby burping up and choking on it. I think SIDs is, like a previous poster said, either a genetic defect or underdeveloped lungs or the effects of so many vaccines at TOO young of an age - OR a combination of all.
BTW all my babies are grown (41, 32 and if our son hadn’t been killed in a vehicle accident at 19, he would have been 38)
Exactly - on the tummies and turn the head for proper development. And there were baby bunties they wore, no blankets. Sorry about your son - a pain that never goes away for the parents and a sorry most parents cannot imagine.
I’m thinking since there has been no progress in 40 years - the vaccines play into it somehow. The little I remember reading about it all way back then - they were totally healthy babies - not premature, nothing that was indicated as anything to watch. Now we hear more about autism than anything else. But then with the media - I’m not expecting any truth. It’s just a vehicle for propaganda and others pass it along.
