This is a big step, and I know at least one person who needed to see this information so I'm sharing in case there are others. Know this...if you've lost a baby to SIDS, it is not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong.

@Helical_Code I can't imagine being a parent who has lost their child and carrying both the grief of the loss and the guilt of thinking that even though you followed all the advice, you somehow still did something wrong that caused the death of your child. I'm so glad to see this research.
@Foxthorn That's an amazing bit of research. Screening for BChE levels should be straightforward. The immediate remedy for low BChE levels could be to monitor breathing, as is done with instruments in the NICU.
"They found the activity of the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was significantly lower in babies who died of SIDS compared to living infants and other non-SIDS infant deaths. BChE plays a major role in the brain’s arousal pathway, explaining why SIDS typically occurs during sleep. "
