I make baby quilts with the thinnest batting. Not puffy, more like a blanket.
I agree with the poster who said, some didn't survive. If you have the attitude, Heck we survived OK, then what is the point of any kind of progress? Immunizations, info about fetal alcohol syndrome, and other medical progress- we really don't need any of that because no matter what you do, some people will survive. Not the way I think, I would like to MAXIMIZE the number of babies and kids who survive to adulthood. Heck, they will be paying for my Social Security!!
I have a SIL who lost a child due to SIDS, 50 years ago, I bet she would have welcomed ANY info about ways to possibly prevent it.
