Sudden Infant Death Syndrome( SIDS)

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

I choose this topic because, I have a very close friend who lost her daughter to this syndrome and this was very emotional and hard to understand. A lack of answers is a part a what makes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) frightening Sids is the leading cause among infants 1month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 each year in the United States. It remains unpredictable despite the years of research. Even so, the risk of SIDS can greatly reduced. First and foremost, infants younger than 1 year should be placed on their backs to sleep never faced down on their stomach. I just really took interested in this topic because of my past experiences and it is a serious and painful situation.
