As Tankia prepares the wrap the baby in blankets according to the Tanzanian custom of swaddling, the hospital nurse urges her to stop, telling her that swaddling a baby may cause it to die from SIDS.

http://sids-network.org/experts/swaddling.htm Doris is pregnant for the first time at the age of 45. She half-jokingly bemoans to her husband, John, that she won't live long enough to know her grandchildren. "Of course you will, " John said.
