The first part of the book, entitled "Practical Information," provides valuable guidance on what happens after an infant dies and the multitude of persons and institutions involved: paramedics, police, coroners, funeral homes, public health nurses, SIDS support groups, and SIDS research projects. There are problems, however, in writing a book for multiple audiences. On page 13, for example, the authors say, "Parents should not hesitate to ask to be with their baby for the last time." Although this information should be provided to those who will be dealing with families affected by SIDS, it may be upsetting to the parent reading it after the fact if that parent was not given the opportunity to hold the infant.
