Lets not allow emotions to out-weight the real debate. It's a shame to see parents getting the blame for infant deaths. This will only serve to frighten new parents even more. It would be nice to get to the 'real' bottom of the cot death mystery. If there are cot deaths it is hardly sensible to start blaming the parents, just because they are the child's parents and have to look after them.
Research needs to be done on the geographical areas where cot deaths occur.
A cot death is a death different and more personal from infant mortality or another child disease. Selena, I totally disagree that the parents are too blame for the cot death of a child. My upbringing was fantastic and no mother in the world could have ever done a better job than my mum. Parents that go through this horrible experience go through enough without some study saying that they are too blame. In my view organisations are under pressure to try and find out the cause of cot death and as they don't have the answer this is an excuse.
