I know that in Arkansas until recent years, any unexplained death of an
infant was recorded as "overlying" if the infant was in bed with a parent.
Can you imagine all of the parents who were unnecessarily made to feel
terribly guilty?
Maybe that's the case with some of the numbers reported in the Pediatrics
article.
