What is SIDS?
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), formerly known as “sudden infant death knows, refers to the sudden, unexpected death of a baby with no known cause. I had to put this page together for SIDS to prevent other families experiencing the pain of my family when I lost my brother SIDS. The number of SIDS babies die of SIDS decreases and this is due to researchers worldwide to educate parents and caregivers, always place a baby on her back with her bare head and face and maintaining sleep a smoke free environment. To give you an example of supporting education, while the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that 500 babies had died of SIDS in 1989 and 2003 the number reduced to 73 children. So please read the information contained in this fact sheet and will reduce the number of others.

SIDS is the most common cause of death in babies between one month and one year, but most babies who die of SIDS are under six months. More babies die of SIDS in winter than in summer. To date, the cause of SIDS remains unknown and there is no way to predict where it will have babies. But what has been discovered that certain factors appear to reduce the risk of SIDS. As parents aware of these factors were first introduced by the various curricula of researchers SIDS, SIDS has decreased and is projected to decline further.

Babies and young children spend much of their time sleeping, so you should be aware that certain rules are not sleep safely and may increase the risk of sudden death sleep to serious accidents. The research has important ways to reduce the risk of SIDS and found a safe sleeping environment for babies and toddlers. This fact sheet provides information to help you create such an environment for your baby or child.

In fact, if the mother smokes, then the risk of SIDS doubles, and if the father smokes again doubled. It is still an increased risk of SIDS if the parents smoke outside, away from the child and the parents co-sleep with their babies, smoking the risk of SIDS will be increased again. The reasons are not clear. However, we know that a non-smoker and non smoker least reduce the risk to your baby. Do not try to let anyone smoke near your baby and try not to let anyone smoke passes into your home, car or anywhere else your baby time.
