FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR PUBLISHING THIS INFORMATION.  MY GRANDSON JACOB PASSED AWAY OF WHAT THEY CALLED "SIDS"..I PROVIDE CHILDCARE IN MY HOME AND I ALSO HAD HIM IN MY CARE WHEN HE PASSED.  TAKING ALL THE NECESSARY CLASSES....I THOUGHT I WOULD BE PREPARED TO USE MY CPR EXPERIECE ANY TIME NEEDED......I TRULY THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG PERFOMING IT FOR MY FIRST TIME.......BUT A REFRESHER COURSE REASSURED ME I HADN'T .  I WENT TO GET MY GRANDSON FROM HIS NAP AND WHILE CHANGING HIM. THINKING HE WAS SO TIRED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE, BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER SAID HE WAS UP ALL NIGHT WANTING TO PLAY.......HE WAS STILL SLEEPING NOT EVEN A TWO HR. NAP.  WHILE I WAS GETTING HIM READY FOR HIS DAD TO PICK HIM UP.  I NOTICED NEAR HIS LIP , IT WAS BLUE, I CHECKED HIM AND HE WASNT ALERT.  HE PASSED AWAY, IM SURE EVEN BEFORE HE MADE IT TO THE HOSPITAL.  OUR OTHER GRANDSON ELIJAH JEFFREY RIVERA BORN JULY 6,2009 5 WKS EARLY, BORN WITH ACID REFLUX, SLEEP APNEA.  OUR OLDERST GRANDSON NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, MAYBE BECAUSE FROM A DIFFERENT FATHER, BUT THE OTHER 4 GRANDCHILDREN, 2 GIRLS 2 BOYS, ONLY THE BOYS HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME SYMPTOM.   BUT IN JACOB. NOBODY EVER WARNED US.....AND IF IT WERENT FOR ELIJAH, HAVING THE PROBLEMS THE SECOND HE WAS BORN, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SENT HIM HOME, WITH A FULL CLEAR BILL OF HEALTH......THIS HAS GIVEN ME SOME RELIEF, A LITTLE UPSET BECAUSE CHILDREN JUST DON'T PASS IN THEIR SLEEP, I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE THAT.......BUT THANKS TO YOU.......THINGS SEEM ALOT CLEARER.....I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY......BUT THEY DO.  MY GRANDSON ELIJAH IS ON MED FOR HIS APNEA AND REFLUX AND IS ON A MONITOR UNTIL HE IS 4MTHS OLD......WHAT A RELIEF....AGAIN, THANKS ANNMARIE FOR YOUR INPUT........LOVE THE HUNTER FAMILY/LAKEWOOD CALIF
