>Parents should take their babies to their health care provider for regular well

baby check-ups and routine immunizations. Claims that immunizations increase

the risk of SIDS are not supported by data, and babies who receive their

scheduled immunizations are less likely to die of SIDS. <

This was from an article at this site:

http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/conditions/sids.html

They list anything and everything that causes SIDS but then say go get your

vaccinations, data doesn't support a link. It infuriates me.
