Dozens of volunteers joined authorities Thursday in the search for a missing 3-year-old boy last seen Wednesday night in the unincorporated town of Evergreen near here.

Officials issued an Amber Alert for Loic J.M. Rogers on Thursday morning after a search, which began shortly after he disappeared, failed to turn up any trace of the boy.

Authorities said Loic’s father reported last seeing him at about 7 p.m. Wednesday after finishing dinner at a relative’s house in Evergreen.

Undersheriff Pete Wingert said the father told authorities he took the boy to the car and went back inside to get Loic’s sibling. When he returned to the car, Loic was gone.

When last seen, Loic was wearing a red, white and blue coat, blue jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, tan leather boots and a multi-colored beanie hat.

Loic is 3 feet tall and has blond hair and blue eyes.

More than 200 people, mostly volunteers, were helping search for the boy.

My thoughts and prayers are with this family. I CANNOT imagine how they are feeling right now. If you have seen this little boy are one that even resembles him please call your local authorities. A child this young needs to be re-united with his parents.

Some parents believe that crib death can only happen at night. Researchers in the U.K. want parents to be aware that the risk of crib death must be taken for day-time naps as well as night-time sleeps.

Researchers said this includes both the advice that babies should sleep on their backs and that they should be in the same room as their parents.

They found three-quarters of babies who died during the day were sleeping in a room where an adult was not present.

The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, studied 1,625 children.

Around 300 babies under the age of one die each year in the UK from crib death, or sudden infant death syndrome.

The latest research, carried out by experts from Bristol University, Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary and the Nuffield Institute for Health, was conducted over three years and included 325 infants in the UK who died and 1,300 of a similar age who did not.

The overwhelming majority of deaths - 83% - occurred at night-time, but of those that happened during the day, 75% were when babies were left in rooms unattended.

The study, partly funded by the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, found that one in four of the babies left unattended had bedclothes over their head, compared to one in 10 where a parent was present.

Among the deaths that happened during the day, 38% were observed to be alive 30 minutes before they were found dead and 9% 10 minutes before they were found.

Report co-author Peter Fleming said: “I think what this shows is that we cannot ignore what has traditionally been done.

“In the past and in other cultures it is unheard of to leave babies on their own, it is something people in western countries should get back to.”

And Joyce Epstein, director of the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, said: “Parents have long been advised of the importance of sleeping babies on their back and not letting their head get covered by bedclothes, and this study shows that the advice needs to be followed day and night.

“For day-time naps, we suggest keeping your baby nearby in a carrycot or in a playpen while you go about your daily chores or, if possible, having a nap whenever your baby naps.”

It is a good idea to have a space for the baby to sleep in on the main floor of your home. We were able to borrow an extra playpen from our neighbours in order to have one in our bedroom and one in the living room. This made it easier for us to watch the baby while he slept and ease my personal paranoia about this exact issue.

Today is a big milestone for GYB. With the arrival of my 500th post I have started to look back at all of the great articles I have covered in 6 months.

I started this blog months ago to help get information out there for parents to read quickly.

I am a stay at home mom who writes this blog each day while my son is sleeping. Somedays I get less done on the site because he may not want to sleep….

You may notice that I tend to cover more stories about preemies. Our son was born at 24 weeks gestation over a year a go. Preemie awareness is very important to me. In November, during Prematurity Awareness Month, I featured the profiles of babies who beat the odds after being born too early. Their stories are still listed on the right hand side of the blog.

Infant safety has also played a big part in the make-up of this site. Since July of 2006 I have posted 33 recalls on products that were created for infants/children. Making sure that parents have the knowledge to make educated decisions on which toys are safe and which are not has been a priority.

Are all things created equal? Not usually. Once a month I put together a collaboration of different items in the same category for parents to compare and find the one that fits their child’s needs. Since the beginning of the site I have compared the cradle vs the Playpen, Cribs, Tricycles, playmats, and playtables.

Beautiful candid shots of your kids are something I like to post on Saturdays. Photo of the Week has been the number 1 viewed feature of this site, with many people coming back to pick through the cute kids we find.

Thank you for finding my site, I hope you will make yourself at home, comment if an article moves you and return when you have time.

If you have a picture that you would like to be considered for the Photo Of The Week please send it to me at growingyourbaby@rogers.com Titled:Photo of the week. Please reduce the resolution so that my inbox doesn’t fill up too quickly.
