Are there organizations that publish statistics, data, or guidelines about this anywhere? In the US for example the National Institutes of Health and the Consumer Product Safety Commission publish statistics and guidelines about the issue for the general public on their websites. Is there anything similar here?
For any parents here, do you know what the general attitude in Finland is regarding "SIDs risk factors", like co-sleeping/bedsharing, using crib-bumpers/blankets/pillows in the crib? I'm just wondering because after speaking with some people in my former home country (the States) who also have new babies, my impression is there's quite a different approach about this here than there. Perhaps I'm just imagining it but in general it seems like people are less hysterical about it here.
Where can I find official guidelines about kätkytkuolema?

Regarding statistics: http://www.stat.fi/til/ksyyt/2012/ksyyt ... 07_fi.html
I can't easily find from the same source numbers older than for year 1998.
The only thing I'm pretty sure I heard from official sources (roughly around year 2010) was the recommendation to put the baby to sleep on his back. Alcohol or smoking were not really relevant in our family. I remember thinking about using or not using crib-bumpers, but if that because of any guidance from neuvola system i do not know. I seriously don't think I heard anything against using a light blanket and any instruction not to share bed would have been a mild one.
