Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
What is SIDS?
đƫ SIDS is the sudden and unexpected death
of a healthy baby under 1 year of age.
đƫ SIDS is also known as crib death as it often
happens when a baby has been sleeping
and does not wake up.
SIDS is not the parent, caregiver or family’s
fault and it cannot be predicted.
No one can explain why babies die of SIDS but
there are steps you can take to lessen the risks.
What can I do before my baby is born?
đƫ Take care of yourself during pregnancy.
đƫ Be sure to visit a health care provider for
regular prenatal checkups.
đƫ Don’t smoke and avoid other people’s
smoke. Regular exposure to second-hand
smoke may harm you and your unborn
baby.
What can I do after my baby is born?
đƫ Don’t smoke and avoid
other people’s smoke.
Regular exposure to
second-hand smoke
may harm you and
your baby.
đƫ Consider breastfeeding
your baby; it may help
to reduce SIDS.
đƫ Put your baby to sleep on his/her back, not on
their tummy or sides.
đƫ Put your baby to sleep on a firm, flat surface with
no toys, bumper pads or pillow.
đƫ Make sure your baby can’t fall out of bed.
đƫ Keep your baby warm, not hot. Use only a light
blanket to cover him/her.

on the couch, chair or recliner. Your baby could
fall and suffocate between the cushions.

in a car seat if not in the car.

in a swing or hard plastic carrier.
