Re: Spinoff to Sleeping in Carseats
I found this :
— SIDS is the term used to describe the sudden and unexplained death of an infant who is between one month and one year of age. Most infants are between two and four months and 90 percent are less than 6 months old. Most infants die during sleep, often between midnight and 6 AM, and have no signs that they suffered.
I found this to better info than the other !

Re: Spinoff to Sleeping in Carseats
NEVER!
It drops dramatically at 1. But after 1 the name changes. People die randomly every day and age for no known reason. There is no way to know if a 30 year old died for the same reason a month old died since they don't know what causes it KWIM?
Also a common misconception is that they only die asleep. My son was wide awake in my husbands arms.
As a SIDS mom who had met and talked to many other SIDS and child loss parents I believe there is LOTS of reasons for SIDS babies and children. I believe all we can do as parents is avoid the things that have been linked to SIDS and hope for the best.
SUDC
ETA:I don't post to scare people. I just try to change peoples way of thinking that the minute they turn 1 they are safe and parents let there guard down. They start going against the things they were told was unsafe to do during infancy.
