Data  suggest, for example, that accidental suffocation, which is hard  to
distinguish from SIDS, has increased in recent years, Moon  said.


Dear Friends:
    I understand that any suffocation will show up on  an autopsy; there is 
also often some form of struggle.
    Crib/cot death is a diagnosis of exclusion.
    I feel like never using the term SIDS again; I want  to call this type of 
death what it was called just a few years ago, crib  death. I am angry at 
this nonsense, especially in view of Dr. Wight's post,  about the breastfeeding 
section of the AAP not being allowed to add a footnote  of disagreement.
    I also wonder why there isn't more of a push to get  tobacco out of the 
baby's environment. The 'back to sleep' campaign was very  successful, and crib 
death incidence did go down after this campaign. So why not  a campaign 
against tobacco in a baby's world, which has more and stronger  evidence showing 
harm?
    warmly,
