The following article is unfortunately in Dutch: http://www.nu.nl/news/1365696/151/rss/%27Kinderdagverblijf_kan_wiegendood_veroorzaken%27.html
It does, however, show that a Dutch scientist has found a link between daycare and SIDS.
He has a few reasons for his thought. Breastfeeding is usually not continued in a daycare setting, which is important for the health of mother and baby.
Very young children are focussed on getting to know their father and their mother, and when they all of a sudden cannot smell, hear, feel or see them, they get stressed, which can attribute to SIDS and is a negative factor in their health and development.
Guus de Jonge obviously is of the opinion that young children, below 1 year of age, should not be in daycare. Even before he published anything I already agreed with that. Its nice to know that there are really good scientific reasons behind it as well.
