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,,

How can you tell if your baby has SIDS or any signs of SIDS?
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.
Risk factor of smokingfor SIDS?
The exact connection has not been identified but the research has shown there are a greater number of babies that die from sids when the parents smoked while pregnant and even after the baby is born.
What is the cause for SIDS?
SIDS basically translates as "your baby just died for no good reason we can find." In other words, if doctors knew the cause, it wouldn't be SIDS, it would be whatever the actual cause was.
Can smoking cause SIDS?
Smoking doesn't cause SIDS. I lost a baby to SIDS in 2003 and I didn't smoke. There are remarks that it could be related but because no one knows what causes SIDS everyone just speculates.There is a strong correlation between parental smoking and SIDS.
What is a baby pram?
A baby pram is a way of transporting a baby. Sometimes it looks like a backpack a parent can wear and the baby can be put in it. This allows the parent's arms to be free while carrying the baby
Are SIDS and apnea related?
SIDS is not the same as apnea. Many people have apnea and apnea has killed infants. Infants with apnea can be resuscitated. An apnea monitor (AKA cot monitor) can detect when a SIDS victim stops breathing � but remember, a SIDS victim is already dead when that happens. Note: Infants with apnea usually are placed on apnea monitors for apnea, not to prevent the unpreventable. And many SIDS parents do use apnea monitors on subsequent children � this has mainly a placebo effect on the parents. No, they are not. You can revive a baby that has apnea if it is not too late. A SIDS baby you can't revive. SIDS is undetectable and you never know when it will hit. With apnea a baby can stop breathing and start again. SIDS is totally different.
Does a baby's nose bleed after he has died from SIDS?
No a baby's nose does no bleed after dying from SIDS. It is as if they just drifted off to sleep. For the most part this is true, but there are times when, after death, blood does come out of the ears and nose.
At what age are infants usually affected by SIDS?
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).
Does co-sleeping prevent SIDS?
no co-sleeping can cause SIDS. so can smoking around the baby, putting baby on belly to sleep, and a few other things. In Florida a 4 month old little girl died while sleeping in bed with her mother. A terrible thing to wake up and find your newborn dead because of something you did.
What sids cause?
People don't know yet, but it has something to do with a baby on her stomach. Vaccine reactions cause a lot of the SIDS. Many babies cannot handle the toxins
Can baby's be affected because there parent's smoke?
YES! Both in utero and OUT! While the fetus is developing inside the mother both secondhand smoke the pregnant woman inhales and her own smoking can be detrimental to a baby's health. They are less likely to carry to term and are more likely to be a low birth weight. After the baby is born the child is more likely to be affected by SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) PLEASE do NOT smoke.
Are there survivors from SIDS?
No. SIDS stands for "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome", which is only diagnosed after the infant dies.
