What is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome?

Answer 1

SIDSSUUDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME ( SIDS ) IS a situation wherean infant is found dead, usually in their crib after a nap or a nights sleep. Doctors have yet to find a definite cause for this. Some theories suggest that an infant stopsbreathing, (like adults who have sleep apnia do). For someunknown reason, the infant's body lacks the ability to startbreathing again. The infant's body shows no apparent reasonfor their death; no disease, no abuse or other obvious injury or other things that explain the death. Doctors havecome up with sleeping monitors that will sound an alarm ifthey stop breathing, and don't automatically start breathingagain, allowing the parent to go to the infant and shake them gently to start them breathing. SIDS is still beingstudied and doctors have yet to find any physical reasonsfor SIDS to occur. If you Google SIDS, you will find lotsof updated information on this affliction. <<>>
