Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant, typically occurring during sleep, and usually affecting infants under one year of age. While the exact cause remains unknown, several risk factors have been identified, including placing infants on their stomachs or sides to sleep, exposure to smoke, premature birth, and overheating. Other factors may include a soft sleep surface and parental issues like substance abuse or lack of prenatal care. Preventive measures include placing infants on their backs to sleep and maintaining a safe sleep environment.
