A helpful look at what parents can do to help prevent SIDS

It is true that no one knows exactly why SIDS happens, and Dr. Sears does not claim to be any different. He shares his own educated ideas about what MAY be behind it, and then offers possible solutions to the problem. He does not claim that following his advice will always prevent SIDS, or that all SIDS deaths could have been prevented if only the parents had been smarter--not at all.

I found this book to be very informative and reassuring. It is not the final answer to eradicating SIDS, but it is helpful.

Sids: A Parent's Guid to Understanding and Preventing SIDS

As a parent who has lost an daughter from SIDS, I am not only offended by the title of this book but the editoral review. Joanni Horchler and Robin Morris' The SIDS Infant Survival Guide is about and for parents who have lost their infant from SIDS. It was very helpful to me following my daughter's death. It was the best book that I read in that it help me understand the feelings I had following her death. I have always had a great deal of respect for Dr. Sears' books but we cannot "prevent" SIDS until we know what causes it.
