According to the latest data, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death in infants between 1 month and 1 year of age. In the United States, around 1,500 infants die from SIDS each year. The risk of SIDS is higher in babies who are exposed to smoking during pregnancy or after birth, sleep on their stomachs, or sleep in an overheated environment.
