I am choosing to research on SIDS

RJA #2b: Research Topic–

I have choosen to do research on SIDS. I have chose this topic mainly because it scares me like crazy consisdering I have a 4 month old baby girl. I feel that this is an important topic and needs to be explored more. With choosing this topic I hope to come to understand more of what SIDS is and what can be done to prevent SIDS.
I know little of the topic except for a few things I have read that can help to prevent SIDS. I do know that some research is beginning to show that there may be some underlying problems to the babies that die from SIDS. I would like to see if there is some connections between babies that die from SIDS and see if some of the things I've read such as having a loose blanket in the crib can cause SIDS. For me, this could provide an arguement paper on some things that I find are a little ridiculous. Although, like I said, I don't know much about the topic and as to why they have come to those conclusions.
I want to learn what all is being done on the research of SIDS considering they don't know the actual cause and if it can be stopped. I don't know really any true facts of the matter just small things that I have read here and there from different websites. Hopefully, through my research I can come to some better conclusions about the topic and what can be done to make the SIDS rate go down. I know I have a lot to learn with this topic and am looking forward to doing more research on it.
