Some measures that reportedly reduce “SIDS” include assembling the crib properly and not putting soft objects that could smother the baby in the crib. Risk factors include lower parental educational attainment. You tell me if I’m being unreasonable attributing a death from the crib collapsing to suffocation and not a mysterious, poorly understood disease. When a baby dies in the crib it is rare for much investigation to be done that would conclusively suggest suffocation and it is usually just labeled SIDS.
