Pardon? What exactly are you trying to say?[/quote]

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. [/quote]
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.[/quote]

No. This is based on actual studies. They do know. Increased temperature is associated with higher rates of SIDS. [/quote]

And this is SIDS, not suffocation, which is what stuffed animals and blankets would cause. [/quote]
How exactly is SIDS defined?[/quote]

Sudden death of child under 1 with no known cause after investigation. It excludes deaths by suffocation. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
