What will be an ideal response?
* Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant up to the age of 1 that is not explained by autopsy, medical case information, or an investigation of the death scene.
* Its specific cause is not known but a number of factors suggest the influence of soft bedding materials; these materials may obstruct air movement and cause babies to rebreathe the carbon dioxide they just released.
*Parents are advised to place infants on their back or sides when they sleep and to use electronic devices to monitor their breathing.
