SIDS: An important Public Health Issue
SIDS is the leading cause of death in infants between one to 12 months old
Most SIDS deaths occur when a baby is between 2 and 4 months of age
The diagnosis of SIDS is not commonly used after 1 year of age.

SIDS: An important Public Health Issue
There is some evidence that suggests that some babies are born with brain abnormalities that may cause SIDS
These abnormalities are in the portion of the brain involved in control of breathing and waking during sleep
Brain abnormalities may stem from prenatal exposure to a toxic substance, or lack of a vital compound in the prenatal environment, such as sufficient oxygen

Preventing SIDS
Positioning an infant for sleep has been identified as a modifiable behavior that can decrease the risk for SIDS
Consistently placing a healthy baby on its back to sleep for naps and at night has been found to reduce the risk
