The exact cause of SIDS is unknown! To prevent SIDS babies "ARE" supposed to sleep on their backs!! Most deaths happen during the first 6 months of a baby's life. Infants born prematurely or with a low birthweight are at greater risk. place your baby in the "feet to foot" position – with their feet touching the end of the cot, Moses basket, or pram keep your baby's head uncovered – their blanket should be tucked in no higher than their shoulders let your baby sleep in the same room as you for the first 6 months make sure there are no pillows or duvets near your baby if you share a bed with them keep other children and pets out of the bed if you share a bed with your baby use a mattress that's firm, flat, waterproof and in good condition What about the increase in noise in the world we live in??
