Though I haven't looked up the stats recently, 10 usual causes of infant mortality are:

  1. complications of labor or childbirth - like umbilical cord being around the neck; mother's hemmorhage during labor
  2. congenital defect seen at birth that will be fatal
  3. neglect, abuse
  4. failure to thrive, especially from neglect
  5. SIDS - sudden infant death syndrome
  6. inappropriate sleep conditions, such as sleeping in an adult bed and having a parent roll onto the baby
  7. suffocation from bumper pads, unneeded blankets, toys in crib
  8. head being caught in crib slats; ties causing strangulation in playpens
  9. shaken baby syndrome
  10. matricide - death at mother's hands
  11. patricide - death at father's hands
  12. accidental drowning - example, leaving an infant unattended in even 1 inch of water
  13. car or other accidents, including faulty infant equipment
