This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Babies are just really fragile.
Current theories include a cut-off blood flow to their brain stem from turning their head, and honey acting as a paralyzing poison on them.

That being said, the Netherlands reduced SIDS cases by a factor of 10 over other developed nations through a system of continuous education and support for parents in the months before and after birth.

I think they also gave every new family a safe place for the baby to sleep - a cardboard box.

You're getting the Netherlands confused with a nordic country there.
