Blood of SIDS infants contains high levels of serotonin
(NIH/Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) Blood samples from infants who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) had high levels of serotonin, a chemical that carries signals along and between nerves, according to a study funded in part by the National Institutes of Health. The finding raises the possibility that a test could be developed to distinguish SIDS cases from other causes of sleep-related, unexpected infant death.

Babies put into their own room at six months 'sleep longer'
Conclusion
The study shows an association between infant and parent room-sharing at 4 and 9 months and infants sleeping for less both in the short and longer term. It also showed a link between room-sharing and unsafe practices such as leaving objects such as blankets in the cot.
However, the results of this study need to be treated cautiously as there are some limitations to the research:
