Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) explained
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
The unexpected death of a baby, when there is no apparent cause of death, is called sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is also known as 'cot death'. The incidence of SIDS in Australia has dropped dramatically. Putting a baby to sleep on its back, keeping the baby's head uncovered and avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke reduces the risk of SIDS.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) - risks
|
| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
Reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Put your baby to sleep on their back, make sure their head won't get covered during sleep and avoid exposing them to tobacco smoke (before birth and after). Don't use cot bumpers, pillows, soft bedding or soft toys in a baby's cot. There is an increased risk of SIDS if a mother who is a smoker shares her bed with her baby. Don't bedshare if you have been drinking alcohol or are affected by other drugs.
