There is new research suggesting that SIDS is caused by rebreathing the same air, so researchers suggest that having a fan turned on in the room where the child is sleeping in order to create airflow may help.

SIDS deaths have decreased remarkably since the mid 80's although still no one really knows exactly what causes a child to die for no apparent reason.

About the chicken pox vaccination. My kids weren't vaccinated against it purely because it wasn't available here in Australia at the time they were born. They did both contract chickenpox...TWICE...so I don't agree and have positive proof that simply contracting an illness like chickenpox is enough to save you from having it ever again.

My kids are immunized against everything else though. I think it's irresponsible not to immunize.
