Sudden infant death syndrome

I think that the very small number of Google hits belies the claim that she had a significant impact on the study of SIDS. --David.Mestel 15:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I just watched an episode of "Exhibit A" from 1998 called "Sad Mother" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0873994/ ) which examined this case and made the same conclusion, because the physician involved in misdiagnosing the first five murders as SIDS related was a leading pioneer of SIDS research (Alfred Steinschneider)... and apparently his misdiagnosis led to his theory (which apparently impacted SIDS research for years) that it was a genetic defect that was primarily responsible. He apparently even testified in her defense during her trial, unwilling to accept her confession meant that his theory was essentially proved false. RealMontrealer 17:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

New studies?

"Some new studies say that bla bla bla..."

What studies? I think a citation is needed here. That's a pretty big statistic to be throwing around with no solid back up. 68.116.143.113 06:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lacking information...

Does anyone else feel this article is severely under developed? There must be more information than this. 67.169.57.180 (talk) 11:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
