In some cases I understand but, in others so blatent that I seldom think there is something else going one here! Can a child who asfixiates be misdiagnosed SID's!?

Answers:
Yes of course it's possible!. SID's is a diagnosis of exclusion!. In other words, doctors do not have an explanation of the child's death, and it's label as SIDs!. Pediatricians believe that most SIDs is actually caused by asphyxiation!. That's why they instruct parents never put more in the crib with a baby other than a blanket, as pillows or stuff animals might suffocate!. Horrible to think, but if a parent suffocates their own child, with the right story, it may be diagnosed as SIDs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
