Interesting, but definitely brief!

Very interesting.. I wonder why there's been more cases in the "risk" group of boys, under 1, smokers and such? Maybe the cigarette smoke increases the chances of this abnormality?!

Hello,
My name is Armando. My wife recently had our first baby. She breastfed baby for the first six days. on the 6th day our dr told us it was okay to pump and bottle feed. Baby did fine all day in her rocker (where she was slightly sitting up). We quickly noticed that baby ate more from the bottle, also that baby slept more soundly throughout the day. We thought great! So before bedtime, we fed baby from the bottle, burped her like normal, and laid her down flat in her crib about 45 minutes after she was burped. Definitely long enough to let her food settle. Being she is our first baby, I was up for every movement baby made, didn't bother her or anything, just let her sleep as she got comfortable. about 20 minutes in, I noticed her breathing was starting to sound like she had fluid in her throat. not a lot, she was still breathing, but it got worse pretty quick. within about five minutes I had her in my hands slapping her back getting the fluid out. she started breathing again after that, but it took her a few minutes to recover, then she was finally able to let out a cry.
All studies say that babies that are breastfed are less likely to die from SIDS. All studies say that suffocation seems to be common in autopsies. over HALF of baby deaths are a result of SIDS.
Now my questions and concerns start. I am sure there is a perfectly good reason drs have told the world to lay baby flat on her back for bed time. but, have you ever ate something or especially drank something and laid on your back, straight on your back? it comes back up! No matter what age. Imagine if you had a full enough stomach to put you to sleep.
Mommies do not send out an incredible amount of milk when breastfed, it is no wonder to me why babies that are breastfed are more likely to stay alive. they dont have enough in their tummy to be full. everything that I have read on the studies seem to point to babies choking up their food. and that night was validation enough. maybe people do not find it in the autopsy because by the time baby is in the autopsy, everyone has turned the baby in every direction trying to figure out what is wrong, the milk goes back down.
Baby will sleep in rocker tonight where she will be slightly sitting until we find a solution. maybe tilting her bed down an inch or two so her head is above her feet? that leads to many other problems as you can lead on to. What about not laying her flat on her back not so soon after? well If most babies are under age 1, maybe ever 45 minutes is not enough, as it wasn't for our little girl. Thank God we caught it.
