[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your nanny was well-educated, she would know that in a true case of SIDS, the baby could not be resuscitated even if she was right there when the baby stopped breathing. She would also know how to provide a safe sleeping environment, minimizing the risk for suffocation, positional asphysixia, or anything else that is commonly mis-attributed to SIDS.

As long as it doesn't bother you, all the more power to your nanny. But she sounds incredibly anxious. [/quote]

You are wrong on this.  SIDS is a catch all for many unknown causes of death and most infants can be resuscitated if caught in time.  I'm assuming if the nanny is a Red Cross Infant Care instructor, she knows all about safe sleep.  [/quote]

I can't think of any instance where an infant could be resuscitated after ceasing to breathe because of SIDS. Suffocated in a blanket or pillow? Could be resuscitated. Unable to breathe because of positional asphyxia in a carrier or car seat? Could be resuscitated. An infant with a biological vulnerability is exposed to a trigger and stops breathing in their sleep? It's SIDS, and they cannot be resuscitated. It's scary but true.

Don't spread misinformation. Suffocation due to an improper sleep environment is not SIDS. [/quote]
