I just browsed that SIDS thing, so if you smoke, it raises the chances of SIDS but only if you smoke in the same room as baby or sleep in the same bed as baby? Is that right? I did neither, but was V para about my smoking being linked to SIDS and I practically got no sleep at night when Keira was a baby, I'd just be settling down and then I'd pop my head up to check her chest was rising - repeat X 234343. Though oddly, I slept fine during the day when she slept, some mental thing telling me it only happened at nights!

I haven't read the article yet-but can anyone give a simple answer why bottle fed babies are more likely to have sids? (not after an arguement just interested )

Why does breastfeeding help reduce the risk of cot death?
Probably by more than one mechanism. There is strong evidence that infection is involved in at least some cot deaths. Breastfeeding certainly protects babies against infection because mother’s milk (especially the colostrum, the straw-coloured fluid produced during the first days of breastfeeding) contains protective antibodies against many common infectious organisms to which the mother herself has been exposed during her life. There are other properties of breast milk that also add to the protective effect. This is likely to explain part of the protective effect against cot death, but there may be other reasons as well.

sorry, it's not that concise or conclusive, but it's the best summary statement I could find

I'm so sorry about your nephew and will try to be more sensitive with what I post. Perhaps links about this kinda thing are more helpful and then people can explore for themselves

This afternoon, Andrew managed to projectile poop in the incubator whilst I was changing him (ewwwwwwwwww). Must remember that he's already developed a twice-a-day poop routine, and try to do his cares before his 3pm evacuation! :rotfl:

And then I had skin-on-skin cuddles with him for the first time :j :j :j I was going to ask about it, but wasn't sure if he was stable enough / big enough / ready. Today's SC nurse did her dissertation on kangaroo care, so she suggested it before I even asked. And it was lovely, he fitted just perfectly against me and settled right down for a good hour's snooze, arm outstretched onto my boob. I'm a Mum

That has just made me cry

Elle, see when they are all swollen like that, it is really hard to see their wee features
Dylan looked the same here

MM and Elle, Can I ask how you feel when you look at those photos? Glad that they've came so far or upset that it happened in the first place? Dont want to upset you but i still cant bare to look at the photos of Rose in SCBU yet x
