Sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby who is less than a year old. It’s sometimes known as crib death because that’s where the infants often die. The root cause of SIDS is mostly unknown. However, we do know how to reduce the risks.
