SIDS has decreased greatly over the past decade or so because of safetyprecaution awareness, however, for every family effected, statistics don’t matter.  They have lost their baby.  Hannah Kinney, MD, a professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School and a neuropathologist at Children’s Hospital Boston has recently published a study she conducted concerning the cause of SIDS.  We are now a step closer to eliminating this tragic occurence.  Her study narrowed down where the problem may lie.  It may come from the brain stem and could have to do with serotonin levels.  Here is a great article about this study.  Certainly one step closer to overcoming the number one cause of death in children newborn to one year old.  This is such great hope for such an elusive killer!
