That is one I definitely can`t offer an opinion on. It`s something you would have to personally know the families to decide on.
I`m more of the opinion that some babies are predisposed to apnea, and unfortunately either die from it or come in contact with some environmental factor that triggers it. It`s been shown that smoking raises the risk quite a lot - but that just goes into the same bucket as all the other issues that aggravate respiratory conditions.
Sadly, knowing that it`s likely a respiratory condition doesn`t do anything for figuring out how to detect or prevent it.
