Why Is SIDS education so important?

What is the meaning of SIDS? It means sudden infant death syndrome. In my opinion, everyone should be educated on the safety of our infants especially those caring for these vulnerable babies. As they are made aware and trained about safe sleep practices for infants, they can help reduce the number of sudden unexpected infant deaths. SIDS remains unpredictable despite many years of research. It is the leading cause of death among infants a month to a year of age. It is important to place babies younger than I year to be on their backs to sleep. Please note, no teddy bears, blankets, or any toys in the bed for sleep.
