Isn't the body amazing? Marsha Glass mentions a case of a mom and infant 
who were stranded in a blizzard for a week, and the baby shut down and 
did not move for 24 hours to conserve energy. Perhaps this baby was 
chilled and his core temp dropped slowly. Kids are good at surviving 
this kind of insult, and often survive drownings in cold water. Perhaps 
he was just getting fewer and fewer calories a day since mom wasn't 
getting any nourishment. This is certainly different from situations in 
which babies are seperated from their mothers by a catastrophe.
