So my question is why 4 months? What happens at (and around) 4 months? That's when I have read that a lot of babies pass from SIDS.
I am putting together my own research because WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS!!!!
- It cant be shots... Maddie's shot were all split up.. She didn't get her 4 month shots before she passed away.
- Most research says it happens more to boys.. almost every story I hear its a girl (not all)
- Maddie was not breastfed (she was on sot formula tho) ( They say it happens to bottle and breast).
-Maddie had colic, but it was going away!!
- She was always hot.. does that have anything to do with it??
What CAN it be??? I just don't understand why this happens. IT HAS TO STOP.. This is 2011, they can cure cancer but NOT find what causes SIDS!!!
GRRRRRR... It aggravates me..
"New research from a team led by a Children's Hospital Boston neuropathologist sheds light on a possible biological cause, pinpointing a defect in the brain "....They are linking SIDS to low serotonin levels. "Kinney had previously found differences related to serotonin receptors in SIDS babies' brainstems, but it was not clear whether there was too much or too little of the neurotransmitter that sends signals between nerve cells. An unanswered question was whether the serotonin was there and the babies' brains were unable to use it."
(That was taken from this article)
If they know that then why can't they figure out how to see if your baby will have low serotonin levels?
Why cant they figure out how to treat this...
It just hurts... How does this happen to a normal, happy, healthy baby?
