Jim McKenna gives a vivid description of research (done before there were
ethics committees) on normal babies whose airways were deliberately (and
briefly) occluded with a piece of saran wrap.  They found it took 2 nurses
to hold the babies down.

(I have also heard him describe a conference at which there was discussion
of babies found dead "from overlying" in parental beds.  Aware of the
vigorous reaction of normal babies to a threatened airway, someone asked,
"How do we know these babies weren't already dead?"  He says there was
silence in the room.  It had never occurred to any of them.)
