Publisher's Note More than 5,000 American babies die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) annually, and each death is estimated to significantly affect at least 100 people. Written for SIDS survivors by SIDS survivors, this comprehensive 18-chapter anthology (with author-written chapter introductions) gears insightful survival suggestions specifically to mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, child-care providers, police officers, emergency medical responders, health professionals, counselors, clergy, and funeral directors. It details what everyone should know about SIDS and discusses the new U.S. campaign to teach mothers to place babies to sleep on their sides or backs. Actor Lloyd Bridges, who lost a baby to SIDS, wrote the foreword. Other contents include chapters on anger, guilt, surviving anniversaries, home monitoring of subsequent babies, dreams and premonitions, and moving forward. In the siblings chapter, "Mister Roger's Neighborhood's" producer Hedda Sharapan discusses talking with children about death. Endorsed by such authorities as Marta Brown, chairman, SIDS International; Dr. Thomas Keens, SIDS researcher, USC's School of Medicine; Mary McClain, president, Assn. of SIDS Program Professionals; Dr. James McKenna, SIDS researcher and anthropologist, Pomona College; Beverley DeBruyn, executive director, Canadian Foundation for Study of Infant Deaths.
