West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Published: 14 March 2008
Cot death sadness
• WE were very sorry to hear about the tragic death of Monikar Thacker’s baby Vijay (Baby died sleeping in mother’s bed, February 22). This is a terrible reminder that a family suffers the tragedy of a cot death nearly every day in the UK. It remains the leading cause of death for babies over one month old.
