"We have a  baby currently in NICU, that was given a diagnosis of   
suffocation  on mother's chest by breast tissue. .. Put to breast at some point in 
cradle  hold  position. Mom draped baby blanket over baby's head for privacy,  
with  visitors present. At 1.5 hours age, baby found lifeless without  pulse or   
respirations, when her nurse pulled back blanket for  observation.
If there is a diagnosis, shouldn't it be "suffocation under blanket"? If  
this baby was formula fed and suffocated, would they blame the formula, no, they  
would look for some inherent, genetic, or undetectable causation, or blame  
the blanket... Sad situation made worse by blaming the mom's breasts. I'm not  
saying this could never happen, but there are other reasons in this case which 
 might pertain.
