OF course! As an intuitive I have always known that SIDS deaths of babies primarily have to do with them being alone and feeling attacked or having no sense of being okay enough to stay alive that young. If you can remember being a baby your sense of what is real is still sort of imaginary at best. You can't really all the time be sure what is real and what isn't. Also, I think it is up to 18 months to 2 years of age if someone is not visible to a child they do not exist because they cannot imagine at this age someone being alive that they cannot see. So, when a baby is alone EVERYONE on earth does not exist, the baby freaks out and sometimes dies of SIDS.
Parents might not want to be near screaming or crying babies and think they will just cry themselves to sleep. But, sometimes they don't cry they scream themselves to death and likely die of a heart attack or stroke from unbounded terror.
Babies need to be taught "Everything is okay" . This is not automatic for all babies, especially if they have been mistreated or they feel they have been mistreated. So, thinking and feeling "Everything is okay" is not automatic for some children. And for these children dying is SIDS could happen under the right conditions.
Also, if there are nearby Ghosts or poltergeists an adult human aura of someone experienced in being alive and generating consciously "I'm okay and so are you" keeps the baby from self destructing from an unformed reality. It is the touch of the adult who feels okay and the aura of such a person that can "Heal" the consciousness of the baby into staying alive and feeling "Everything actually is okay".

Babies should sleep in parents' room first year: US doctors

Miami
(AFP) - To reduce the risk of sudden death, babies should sleep in the
same room as their parents but in their own crib or bassinet for the
first year of life, US doctors said.
The
new policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics says babies
should sleep on their backs, on a clean surface free of toys and
blankets, a guideline that has been in place since the 1990s and has
reduced sudden infant deaths by about 50 percent.
Still,
some 3,500 infants die each year in the United States from
sleep-related deaths, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and
accidental suffocation and strangulation.
The
main change to the AAP guidelines, which were last issued in 2011, is
the specific call for infants to stay in their parents' room for six
months to a year if possible -- but not sleep in the same bed.
"Parents
should never place the baby on a sofa, couch, or cushioned chair,
either alone or sleeping with another person," lead author Rachel Moon
said on Monday.
"We know that these surfaces are extremely hazardous."
- 'One never forgets' -
Experts
say that urging parents to put babies to sleep on their backs instead
of their bellies helped drive down the rate of sudden infant death from
120 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1992 to 56 deaths per 100,000 in
2001 -- a 53 percent reduction in one decade. That advice still stands.
Deaths from SIDS have plateaued in recent years, but it is still the leading killer of babies aged one month to one year.
Children
may become entangled in bedding, or suffocate under bumpers or toys,
get squeezed in the corner of a couch or armchair, get overheated, or
simply stop breathing for no apparent reason.
"It
is nothing but tragic," said Peter Richel, chief of the department of
pediatrics at Northern Westchester Hospital, who remembers losing two
patients in the past 26 years to sudden infant death -- a four-month-old
boy and a two-week-old girl.
"Often there is nothing special to point to, other than they are just kind of taken away," he said.
"It is something that one never forgets."
Other risk factors for SIDS include smoking in the home, and exposing babies to drugs or alcohol.
Richel said that the new policy means doctors will have to change some of their long-held advice.
"Many
pediatricians will suggest that by two months of age, infants go to
their own room, and with the use of a monitor so that you can hear them
cry out for a feeding," said Richel.
"This really goes against that kind of usual advice, which is fine, because if it saves lives we are all for it."
- Latest data -
The
new policy is described in a paper called, "SIDS and Other
Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Updated 2016 Recommendations for a Safe
Infant Sleeping Environment," and will be presented Monday at the AAP
National Conference and Exhibition in San Francisco.
"The
most important thing to remember is that the crib should be free of all
loose objects that could lead to strangulation or suffocation," said
Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital, who was
not involved in the research.
"This means that a bare environment is ultimately safest."
The
AAP policy also suggests placing newborn infants skin-to-skin with the
mother "immediately following birth for at least an hour as soon as the
mother is medically stable and awake."
Breastfeeding is recommended, but mothers are urged to move the baby to a separate sleeping space afterward.
"If
you are feeding your baby and think that there’s even the slightest
possibility that you may fall asleep, feed your baby on your bed, rather
than a sofa or cushioned chair," said co-author Lori Feldman-Winter, a
member of the Task Force on SIDS.
"If you do fall asleep, as soon as you wake up be sure to move the baby to his or her own bed," she said.
The highest risk period for SIDS comes between the ages one to four months. SIDS is rare in babies older than eight months.
Other
strategies include offering a pacifier at nap time and bedtime, and
making sure infants get all their recommended vaccines.
Parents
are warned against using expensive home monitoring systems, as well as
wedges or positioners that may be marketed as reducing the risk of SIDS.
"We
know that we can keep a baby safer without spending a lot of money on
home monitoring gadgets but through simple precautionary measures," Moon
said.
