How can you tell if your baby has SIDS or any signs of SIDS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are no signs to tell if your baby will pass to SIDS. SIDS is sudden & silent & unexpected. There is no way to tell until your baby is gone.

Are there any products that help prevent SIDS?

Answer:

I believe that if you fear your child is at risk of SIDS. talk to your pediatrician and have your child evaluated. I think they spend a couple nights in the hospital, and if they show signs of stopping breathing and lack what ever it is that is suppose to start them breathing again, there is something they can do .. They send you home with a little breathing alarm attached to your child, and if they don't breathe for so many seconds, the alarm sounds, alerts the parents, and they arouse the child until they breath. They eventually outgrow it.

At what age are infants usually affected by SIDS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its hard to tell, it can occur at any time really in infancy. After 2-3 months though when the baby can support its head/lift up onto their arms the chances significantly decrease. Until then just watch the baby closely-don't have loose blankets/pillows in the crib, make sure they're sleeping on their back (its okay if they roll themselves over, just gently nudge them back to their back if it makes you too nervous).

Can SIDS occur while baby is held by parent?

Back in 1959, Doctors didn't know much about SIDS. What we know now is that SIDS is not survivable. You most likely had an apnea event, you stopped breathing and started breathing again. There is no way to revive a SIDS baby. You were lucky but there is no such thing as a SIDS survivor, unless you are referring to a parent who has survived the loss of their baby.

No, babies do not survive SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

They cannot survive or it wouldn't be sudden infant death.

_______________________________

I disagree. I am a SIDS survivor. When I was 2 months old, my 9 yo brother was watching me while my mom cooked dinner. He yelled, mom, mom, she's turning blue! My mom came, picked me up, patted me on the back and I started breathing again. She went back to cooking and again my brother yelled, mom, mom, she's turning blue. She took me to the hospital, where they said I survived crib death, now called SIDS. This was in 1959.

Many children have survived turning blue for reasons that were not explained, or explainable, at the time. By definition, sudden infant death syndrome is how we explain actual deaths after we rule out all known causes. As we get smarter, the category gets smaller, since we can explain a lot more of the causes of babies turning blue than we could when you and I were young. This will keep happening, and someday, with any luck, we'll find out what's killing the others and learn to treat it, too. Glad you're still around, though!

I also disagree. I have survived SIDS. Ten minutes after i was born, in 1993, i died in my aunties arms, and i do not know how they revived me. But i do know that i was to lay at an angle where my head was almost facing the floor and my feet were to the ceiling, for 14 months. I didn't turn blue or anything, i just died. I do not have any medical problems that i know of, so far. And i hope i never will.

I HAVE A CHILD THAT SURVIVED SIDS SHE IS NOW 15,, SHE SUFFERED A BRAIN INJURY FROM THE ORDEAL,, AND WAS IN VERY CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER IT HAPPENED FOR THREE MONTHS,, BUT SHE IS AN AMAZING KID,,

Hi, it is possible to survive sids. One of my friends have and he is living very well!

Is SIDS caused by colds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

SIDS is not caused by immunizations. Most children get their immunizations at about four months which coincides with the average age. But children without immunizations also die of SIDS. Answer There is absolutely no medical evidence that SIDS is caused by getting your child immunized. SIDS is still a very new topic in the medical field but the most common ways to help protect your baby from SIDS is to place your child on their back when sleeping and keep all extra blankets, pillows and stuffed animals out of their crib. Immunizations are an important way to help protect your baby from several diseases that can be dangerous even deadly to them. Their systems haven't built up the immunity needed to fight infections. Answer Excerpt from: healthboards.com I have done extensive research on vaccines after almost losing my daughter from a severe reaction to the DPT vaccine. I truly believe that vaccines are in direct relation with Sids. Many children die every year or are severly damaged in some form from vaccines. The word has to be spread that they are very dangerous. I would be very interested in finding out from parents who have lost there children just how soon before they were given shots. Parents really need to research the facts on vaccines. You would be very surprised the actual facts of what your exposing your children to. PLEASE DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU MAKE THE DECISION TO GIVE VACCINES. VISIT:

Answer2: Much research is still being down to find the causes of SIDS, why a healthy baby just fails to wake up one day. So far contributing factors like smoking and the position of the baby has been linked to causes, but no one specific things has been said to be the cause of all crib death.

Can adults die from SIDS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I do believe that 18 month old babies can die from SIDS- I think that the medical community now refers to it as SUDS or SUDC Sudden Unexplained Death of a Child. My son died from SIDS at 2 months 4 days and in the 2 years since then I have met many other families going through my nightmare and one lost a 3 year old to SIDS/SUDC so yes, it can happen to toddlers and older- it's just less common.

Yes, children can die from SIDS at 18 months old. I know of a case where the child was almost two years old (22 months). They still had the same autopsy reports and were unexplained deaths, "SIDS". It is very rare , but unfortunately can still happen.

on Thursday august 11th my husband and I put are son to bed who was 18 months and 25 days and when we checked on him before we went to go to bed he was already gone he had just laid down an hour before that my husband and I have replayed that night a thousand times and we have to settle for the reason they gave us which was sids.

How much does a six year old weigh?

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on their height really- i am not a doctor. But the rough idea I have in mind is about 4 to 5 stones. The obese weight is 6 stones. The skinny weight is 2 stones. But six year olds should not worry about weight

Why you feed the infants?

'''Infants should get fed 5 times a day. Try feeding them milk, water, and baby formula. You feed infants to keep them strong and healthy. Just like how we feed ourselves. Milk keeps the infants strong just like food keeps humans strong.'''

What is the cause of SIDS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nobody knows what the cause of SIDS is, there are a few ways you can prevent it. One way is to have your baby sleep on their side. Most people want their baby to sleep on their backs, but this is not good because if the baby spits up in it's sleep he/she can choke on the spit-up. There are other ways to prevent it, but you will have to do some internet searching to find out.

Alan Phillips, Director of

Citizens for Healthcare Freedom states:

"Studies internationally have shown vaccination to be a cause of SIDS , (SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is a "catch-all" diagnosis given when the specific cause of death is unknown; estimates range from 5,000 to 10,000 cases each year in the US).

One study found the peak incidence of SIDS occurred at the ages of 2 and 4 months in the US, precisely when the first two routine immunizations are given, while another found a clear pattern of correlation extending three weeks after immunization.

Another study found that 3,000 children die within 4 days of vaccination each year in the US (amazingly, the authors reported no SIDS/vaccine relationship), while yet another researcher's studies led to the conclusion that at least half of SIDS cases are caused by vaccines.

Initial studies suggesting a causal relationship between SIDS and vaccines were quickly followed by vaccine-manufacturer-sponsoredstudies concluding that there is no relationship between SIDS and vaccines; one such study claimed that there was a slightly lower incidence of SIDS in vaccines.

However, many of these studies were called into question by yet another study that found "confounding" had erroneously skewed the results of these studies in favor of the vaccine.

At best, there is conflicting evidence."

No, small babies should be put to sleep on their backs it makes them much less susceptible to cot-death. Once they can turn themselves they will find their own comfortable position, just as an older person does.
