I am not an expert on SIDS but I have talked to several professionals in the field and your right there seems to be no consensus on what SIDS actually is.

Actually the best explanation I've heard from a doctor is that SIDS is simply a made up term to explain to parents why their child died because the actual cause of death is simply too difficult to determine.

How blind is your toddler? I know that blindness is usually not complete so im wondering if your kid can still see shades/light $ whatever.

Also check out iahp.org. This optometrist I know says they have cured some young kids from neurological blindness.

Cool. Definitely check those guys out. It means she likely has neurological problem (her brain is injured and is misinterpretting what her eyes see) or the connection from her eyes to her brain is not working properly. In all likelyhood, her eyes function fine.

Try shining a flashlight directly in her eyes and see what kind of response you get. Im no expert but I listened to several lectures and talked to a few people on this topic.

No I hadn't. Maybe I don't understand all this fully. The way it was explained, it sounded like kids with any vision (light/dark whatever) could theorectically have their vision repaired.

Anyway Ill leave it at that.
