Pardon? What exactly are you trying to say?
Cooler room lower the risk of SIDS. The hypothesis is that warmer babies are sometimes unable to arouse themselves when necessary. They have higher rates of SIDS. That is why they believe SIDS rates go up in the winter. People put too much clothing on their babies.
We should see what exactly the baby was wearing, and what else was in the crib. Perhaps there were loose blankets and pillows. Perhaps toys and stuffed animals. What temperature was the room? We really have no clue.
No. This is based on actual studies. They do know. Increased temperature is associated with higher rates of SIDS.
And this is SIDS, not suffocation, which is what stuffed animals and blankets would cause.
How exactly is SIDS defined?
Sudden death of child under 1 with no known cause after investigation. It excludes deaths by suffocation.
But there’s no way to know because about half the time the parents present at the ED with the deceased baby. I’d venture that 100% of the time the parents touch/move/try to rouse the baby before calling 911, so investigators rarely see the scene as it was when the baby died.
Oh, for god's sake. There are forensic tests for suffocation, such as the presence of microscopic fibers in the airway, as well as characteristic hemorrhages in the conjunctiva, patterns of edematous change in the airway, etc.
Please don't assume other people who do this for a living don't know what they are doing, just because you don't know what you don't know. That is why there is research, done by professionals, and that is more than just "Google PhD."
