Abstract

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) causes approximately seven thousand infant deaths in the United States every year. SIDS is the sudden and unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant; it is the most common cause of death in infants after their first week of life. Also known as “crib death” or “cot death,” it typically occurs at night when an infant is sleeping.
