You know what else happened in the 90s? Leaded gas was banned. I'll attribute it to that. Anecdotes don't mean much.
You need to publish a scientific paper on your SIDs discovery. Don't let this major work languish in some technology comment on Lemmy!
Leaded gas was banned in the 70s.

I'm not saying baby monitors are the only reason for improved SUID rates. I'm saying they likely played a role. Despite your sarcasm, you might also be right that lead could have adversely affected unexplained infant mortality. The point I was trying to make was that baby monitors are not useless devices designed to extract money from you as implied by OP, whose comments by the way, were anecdotal.
$400 is excessive though. As is a subscription.
And data on SIDS is freely available. https://www.cdc.gov/sids/data.htm
