Provide an overview of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and note the current recommendations to minimize the risk of SIDS
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
• SIDS is a disorder in which a seemingly healthy infant dies in his/her sleep. The disorder is unexplained and occurs in 1 in 1,000 infants.
• Currently the AAP recommends putting infants to sleep on their backs and to consider using a pacifier during naps and bedtime.
• Although the number of cases of SIDS has decreased since these guidelines were developed, SIDS is still the leading cause of death in children under the age of one year.
