The toxins-in-the-mattress claim has been investigated and dismissed. Your
informant is incorrect - the research still points to lack of breastfeeding,
smoking (especially maternal) and prone sleeping as major risk factors. NZ
has a good web site on SIDS and their pamphlet is on James McKenna's web
site.  http://www.nd.edu/~jmckenn1/lab/pamphlets/zealand.html.

I have been told that there is in New Zealand a belief that babies should

not bed-share due to mold in the parents' mattresses which causes toxins

that cause SIDS.  My informant tells me that, moreover, it is not thought

that maternal smoking, ambient temperature nor breastfeeding influence the

risk of SIDS.  Please if there is anyone on the list who is familiar with

the current state of the discussion about SIDS in NZ, could you briefly

enlighten me about it?  Do so off list if it cannot be done in a few lines.

 

Thanks,
