Can newborn asphyxia be contagious?

Patient's question:

I am a new mother, and since I didn't buy a crib, the baby usually sleeps with me. Now that it's getting colder, the blanket is quite large, and I'm always worried that I might accidentally cover the baby with it, causing suffocation. I want to know if suffocation can be contagious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. If this smaller doll experiences suffocation, as its body tension has not yet developed fully, they may not produce some more prominent struggling movements. Sometimes, parents may not notice this in time. It's best not to let the doll share a bed with adults. It's better to wrap the doll in a small blanket alone. This is safer.
