RE: I just want to scream at
Scream all you want, but "they" are right. The risk of SIDS is lower when babies sleep on their backs.
One theory of SIDS is that some babies sleep so soundly that they stop breathing, that they literally forget to breathe. This is one reason that babies who cosleep are at lower risk of SIDS, they are believed to follow the same sleep pattern as the adults in the bed.
But I do agree that everyone should do their own research and make the decisions that are best for them and accept the risks that they are comfortable with.
