What is SIDS?
Red Nose Day Australia 2024 will raise awareness about SIDS. The sudden and unexplained death of a newborn child in sleep is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Death sometimes happens early in the morning and no signs of struggle remain. It is not clear which is the exact cause of SIDS, but hypotheses include environmental stress such as sleeping on the stomach which makes it harder to breathe, overheating, and unintentional suffocation by soft items or during sharing a bed.
The approaches suggested minimizing the risk of SIDS include placing the child on their back when they sleep, giving the child a firm mattress without no loose bedding, and a reasonably cool atmosphere for sleeping. In infants between one month and a year of age, SIDS is the most common cause of death.
