it's not talked about because its basically accusatory, but some docs think that many cases of SIDs are actually cases of baby being in bed with mom or dad and being rolled upon....
those are not my words......just read them somewhere a few years ago....naturally, they are controversial.....

I can imagine great guilt and grief in the parents-- thinking they might be at fault. Surely human nature tells us a few would lie that the baby was in its own bed when found.
But what was the actual cause of the SIDS? Suspicion is not proof is it? I remember an Australian study (old) showing a complete absence of SIDS deaths in aborigines who breastfed and co-slept. That study was not the only one whose results may seem 'accusatory' of Western ways of child-rearing.

Such unsubstantiated gossip, as you must realize, usually is.
