Ann, have you shared your experience with James
McKenna?  Last I heard he was collecting just such
anecdotes.  Your story is one that should be told more
often, perhaps with a megaphone from a soapbox in
obstetric and pediatric waiting rooms.

<<My daughter Amanda was a missed SIDS, 27 years ago,
I found her not breathing and was able to revive her. 
She was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and was put
on the apnea monitor, for 2.5 years.   On nights when 
I wanted to run out of the house screaming because the
monitor was going off 10-15 or 20 times I finally
figured out that if I picked her up and BF she 
had no apnic episodes.  So the child I planned on BF
for 3 months was BF for 2.5 years.  SHe did sleep in a
crib right next to my bed, no alarm the early monitors
if there was a disconnect.  I bought a Lazy Boy
recliner and slept with her there for months.>>
