Why are recently vaccinated babies and babies with infections at higher risk of cot death?
The fever which results from infection and which can also follow vaccination results in increased temperature in the baby’s cot. If bedding in the cot is capable of toxic gas generation, a rise in temperature of (say) three degrees Celsius in the cot can result in a tenfold increase in the rate of gas generation.
