Only a family touched by the loss of a baby from SIDS can fully understand the great loss of one day having a beautiful baby and the next they are gone. Why?  Anyone would question why?

I wanted to share some information I read regarding research on SIDS, which was recently published in an American Medical Journal stating that abnormal levels of serotonin may be what puts a child at risk for SIDS.  (Seratonin is the neurological process involved with sleep, depression, memory etc).   If a child’s levels of serotonin are low, it found, breathing is hampered, which can become fatal when combined with another stressor, such as being around second-hand smoke. This would explain some of the more mysterious correlations with SIDS, such as, that it is much less likely to afflict a child who sleeps in a room with a fan on.

Interesting…..  What thoughts do you have on this?
