Hi,

I often wonder too if CAH or something else could be attributed to what we sometimes call SIDS. I met a lady while in NY who's daughter was diagnosed with  Psudo Hypo Aldosteronism.  What I found interesting about this disorder is that her baby was very sleepy and didn't want to eat. The ped. told her to let the baby sleep and that newborns are sleepy alot of the time. She decided to go to the hospital because she didn't feel something was right. When she got there,  her daughter was almost in cardiac arrest. If she would have listened to her ped, her daughter would have died in her sleep. 

So, I hope that they change people become more aware that SIDS isn't always SIDS but really some other "rare" disorder.
