Babies: SIDS
It’s the most frightening, bewildering and heartbreaking thing that can
happen with a newborn. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It’s
defined as when as when a baby dies in the first year of life from no
apparent cause. The causes still aren’t fully known, but in SIDS
deaths, the baby’s recovery mechanisms if deprived of oxygen aren’t
developed and he’s not able to rouse himself if his breathing becomes
obstructed, such as when he’s sleeping face down.
