SIDS
Filed in archive Health by Melissa Petri on October 24, 2006

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is also known as cot death and crib death. It's the sudden and unexplained death (even after a postmortem investigation) of an apparently healthy infant aged one month to one year.
With this lady's case, she just woke up to find that her baby has turned blue and is dead.
Apparently, there is no 100% way to prevent SIDS from happening. What we, parents, can only do is to reduce the risk. It has been said that the probability of SIDS is increased if the baby...
- is exposed to tobacco smoke
- sleeps on his or her stomach
- is not breastfed
- is overheated due to excess clothing
- has too much beddings around him/her
Should you have an infant in the house, do take extra care, as well. We may not be able to guarantee SIDS not happening but we can greatly reduce the risks.
