It was due to the fact that parents left the children sleeping with the pilllow...I mean what is wrong with people? Don't they see the huge tag that issues a warning not to let your child sleep in or with the pillow??????

Here is the article.
Boppy-type pillows linked to 3 Westchester SIDS deaths
By Shawn Cohen • The Journal News • February 6, 2008
WHITE PLAINS - Westchester County officials are warning parents about crescent-shaped infant and nursing pillows after three county children died while sleeping with them.
A new county report doesn't blame the deaths on the pillows, but found that "each case involved the improper use of the crescent-shaped pillow in the infant's sleeping environment."
All three deaths, which occurred in 2006, resulted from sudden infant death syndrome, according to the county medical examiner.
After looking into the cases, the county's Child Fatality Review Team issued a report finding the common thread.
One involved a 2-month-old who was put to bed on one of the pillows and was found lying face down in the center of the pillow.
Another child was found propped up or resting on the pillow.
A third was found in a crib with a pillow nearby, the team stated in its report.
"Caregivers should use crescent-shaped pillows cautiously and, in particular, should avoid any use of such products as sleep aids for babies," the team stated.
It recommends that caregivers provide a sleep surface that is flat and firm and free of pillows, blankets, toys and stuffed animals.
The crescent pillows are intended to assist nursing mothers and caretakers in feeding babies by providing support to reduce strain on the arms, shoulders and neck.
They are also used to prop babies as their trunk muscles get stronger so a baby can practice sitting.
They also can support a baby during supervised "tummy time," when an infant plays and exercises on its belly to develop the upper-body strength needed for crawling.
One popular brand, The Boppy, is tagged with a warning against using the product for sleeping.

Re: boppy seat linked to 3 deaths??????anyone?
DH and I received so many warnings from the NICU nurses about things like this. Still, I am surprised that it seems that not all of these deaths were related to the baby falling into the middle of the boppy. My sister used to stack 2 boppies to really get the babies to sit up and as a way to use boppies when the babies got big. She didn't let them sleep that way, though. Now I wonder if that is not really safe.

Bella naps in hers once and a while too. Again, I am right there with her though.
