SIDS

Not just babies, almost everybody does. There is too little physical activity during sleep to generate enough CO2 to compensate overbreathing, so many people hyperventilate mildly, usually in the morning hours (that explains why asthmatics have problems often at that time). Mouth breathing makes hyperventilation even much worse. Babies (as well as adults) with stuffed noses sleep with open mouths during the night and overbreathing will cause their noses to be stuffed even more. So the key is to keep the mouth shut and the nose open. Nasal breathing decreases the chance of hyperventilation.

It tends to fall out of the baby's head post-mortem. If you're not careful, you could lose it in the crib under a blanket after removing the baby.

There are no signs or symptoms for SIDS. As sad and unfair that is it is true. I speak from experience. There are only things you can do that will "maybe" decrease the chances of this happening to you and your infant. There is new research out there that links an infants brain my have something to do with SIDS. I hope this helps

The spices were not found in the Americas.

No it is not!!!

Not much is known about SIDS, but there is research looking into the possibility that it may have some genetic factors. SIDS is a blanket term and the way research is going, it may not have one definite cause.

SIDS is used to catagorize all infant deaths in the United States from 1 month to 1 year for research purposes only. They are now delving deeper and broadening the spectrum to include Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood and many late term miscarriages and unexplained still births.

In my case, we have had another SIDS death in my family. My grandparents lost their 6th child to SIDS 45 years ago. My daughter that died has a twin brother and we have since had another baby girl.

I know that I have not answered your question, but the truth is, no one knows with certainty what the answer may be. God Bless.

Forgive me, I mean it is used to catagorize all unexplained infant deaths, not all infant deaths. Forgive my mistake.

"SIDS" Stand for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It is an under studied event where infants die for no apparent reason usually in there sleep in their crib. Sometimes the infant rolls over suffocating in other cases the child just mysteriously dies. Some cases of infanticide are misdiagnosed as SIDS and sometimes actual SIDS cases are found to be murder. In either case a great injustice has occurred.

SIDS FAMILY ASSOCIATION JAPAN WAS FOUNDED IN 1993 TO HELP FAMILIES WHO HAVE SUFFERED LOSSING A BABY FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING MISSCARRIAGE,STILLBIRTH,PERINATAL DEATH, OR INFANT DEATH

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.

Infants

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.

Most important is to put the baby on its back to sleep.

Also important are not smoking, not putting lots of pillows and things in the cot and not falling asleep with the baby on the sofa etc.

SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the death of an apparently healthy infant that remains unexplained after a thorough autopsy and death scene investigation. There appears to be no suffering in most cases; death occurs very rapidly, usually during sleep. SIDS is the leading killer of infants between one week and one year with an approximate rate of two per thousand live births (1 in 500). 6,000-7,000 babies die of SIDS every year in the US. The peak age is around two to four months and the majority of the deaths occur during the winter months (October to April in the Northern Hemisphere). Researchers believe that SIDS probably has more than one cause, although the final process appears to be similar in most cases. SIDS can not predicted, prevented, or reversed.

Most people are uncomfortable with death, especially when it deals with an infant. Many people say stupid things to parents like, "you can always have another," "it was the will of God," or something else that does not help the parent. Just say you're sorry for their loss, and if you want to do more ASK what you can do. If you can help with funeral arangements, returning clothes, driving to support meetings, and just handing over wads of tissue as needed, you are helping. If you can't help, keep in touch but don't stick around. Time takes the edge of the frequency of the pain away but the death of the child will always be a raw nerve. It does help to ask questions like "what type of baby was he?" or "can you show me some pictures of her?" The SIDS parent is often in a haze after the death, but they do remember the little things. I am a SIDS parent. I know they wanna here they did not cause the death — some parents think they did. They want to hear the baby's name & hear you talk about the baby. Never, ever say "I know how you feel I lost (a dog, a parent, etc.)." The loss of a baby is the worst feeling in the world. They wanna hear you care. We want you to LISTEN most of all. LISTEN to what we have to say. We don't want advice, just someone to talk to about such a tragic loss. We want to know you care. Don't avoid them, it is one of the worst things you can do. Just let them know you care about them & their BABY.

A cone does not have any sids. A finite cone has two faces.

The most recent report I read indicated that every re-evaluation of multiple SIDS deaths in families had turned up information that the deaths had other causes. This was a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen anything to refute that since. It didn't rule out the possibility of SIDS occurring more than once within a family, but suggested that they were probably either a result of genetic issues not previously discovered, or due to non-accidental events.

The American Association of Pediatrics recommended in 1992 that infants be placed on the sides or on their back as this has some evidence of reducing the rate of SIDS in some areas. Death from aspiration of vomit is much rarer than SIDS. Not all doctors are convinced, and babies have died of SIDS while sleeping on their side or back. Most parent groups (and the original FAQ author) recommend the back or side placing just in case.

There are several devices to help keep you infant propped up, but as soon as they start squirming a lot you probably cannot use them.

Constant worrying about the possibility of SIDS and constant checking on the baby will not safeguard a child from SIDS. It will only serve to exhaust the parents and to increase their worries.

The first few months (and beyond!) is a time best spent by enjoying, loving, and watching your child grow and develop. Recognize the fact that you are not alone in your concern for your child. And remember that SIDS is not a common occurrence � of every 1000 babies born, 998 infants will NOT become SIDS victims.

No, you can not prevent SIDS. You can lower the risks but it is not preventable. They don't know why these babies die. If you don't know why, then you can't prevent it.

I can assure you that SIDS can in no way be prevented- you can follow steps to lower the risk but it can not be prevented. Every hour of every day another baby somewhere in this world dies from SIDS- it was stated that SIDS is an uncommon occurance and that you should not worry- well SIDS is more common than most people know and those people remain ignorant to the actual facts until it happens to them or someone they know. You should worry- every baby is at risk and SIDS is not prejudice in any way. So NO SIDS CAN NOT BE PREVENTED..... www.ourangelalex.com

no it isn't curable or preventabel but there are alot of things you ccan do to help the risk.

Most people want to believe you can, by simply placing your baby on its back , but this does NOT prevent SID's, because my very son was on his back and is no longer here. NO you cannot prevent something until you absolutely know its causes. Supplemental newborn screening can absolutely prevent 5% of Suddent Infant Deaths. Other than that, I am not aware of any absolute preventative and I have been researching SID's for over 3 years straight.

Check out my answer in the SIDS risk factor section. I am inclined to believe the theory that SIDS is caused by mildew which eats fire retardant chemicals in the crib mattress, which in turn creates poison gas. In New Zealand, 100,000 babies have slept on mattresses covered by a product which is essentially a sheet of a certain type of plastic, with no SIDS fatalities.

I am only about 95% convinced, but I would buy this product for my next baby, and I think other people in the US need to know, and the US needs to spend some public money researching this in an unbiased manner.

I believe 100% in the toxic gas theory for crib death. Babies are dying because of the toxic nerve gases released by their mattresses. This was discovered by an independent scientist quite by accident and not the result of lots of money which is currently going down the tubes in the US. Some "SIDS" babies are dying of other causes, including other environmental poisons (cigarettes, cleaning products, chemical overload) as well as vaccines. Many doctors still don't want to believe that vaccines are killing babies and will label a vaccine death as "SIDS". So in this vein, "SIDS" is not preventable, but crib death IS if you use the mattress cover that prohibits the gases from being released into the baby's air.

The mattress as the culprit sounds quite reasonable if we take into account that sleeping on their backs and avoiding fluffy blankets has reduced fatalities by about 40% since it was promoted. Obviously, if the baby has more opportunity to breathe in oxygen, the toxic gas is not as toxic. What puzzles me is the other theory that the same bacteria that causes cavities or stomach ulcers may be responsible to hinder proper oxygen supply to the baby`s heart and brain. It is the bacteria that caregivers can pass on to the little ones by kissing or sharing eating utensils. The bacteria was apparently found in larger amounts in babies who passed away through SIDS. However, no theory will ever ease the parents` loss.

In a word, no. I have studied every piece of information on this subject for five years now, and I have never heard of that. Generally the idea is:

1. The child is over heated, either by too many clothes or blankets, or the temperature of the room. They say to put the child in a sleeper with the footies and long sleeves, and no blanket. They should be on their back, so the child's body can release heat from the trunk area. Keep the temperature of the room the same as in the rest of the house, i.e. if you're comfortable so is your baby.

2. A "rebreathing" child basically suffocates, either conventionally by something covering the face, or the child breathes in his exhaled air and suffocates that way (rebreathing). To protect him from this you can put the baby to sleep on his back so he doesn't rebreathe. Also, the mattress must be firm. There should be no blankets, pillows, stuffed toys, or loose sheets in crib.

There is a lot of controversy about sleep sharing (sleeping with baby). You could roll on top of the baby, and there are pillows and blankets in the parental bed -- some possibilities of SIDS occurring. But I also read a study years ago about a parent's breathing possibly making the baby fall into breathing sync, thus helping to ensure the baby continues to breath as long as you do. There may also be something about your breath blowing into their face when you are sleeping together, and it supposedly forces air in the child making him breath.

There are mattresses one could buy with a fan inside it that does the forcing of air for you. Someone once said sleeping on a slight incline, there for the crib wedge. Personally with my two, soon to be three, I put them on a good mattress, on their backs, kept the temperature comfy, nothing was allowed in the crib but the baby, and no smoking was allowed in the house (if anyone still does that, it may also be linked to causing SIDS).

I was probably a little extra cautious and woke up all through the night, and could not go back to sleep until I saw the gentle rise and fall of their tummy that meant they where breathing. I think being vigilent, and educating ourselves is the only way we can save our babies from this silent killer.

P.S. Learn how to do CPR, please.

Sids by definition is the unexpained death of a seemingly healthy infant. As I see your answer I can only assume you have never experienced sids as you do realize how insensitive this answer.

I have a two year old daughther and my son would have been three months. I did everything you are reccomending and I knew CPR to, infact we live across the street from the hospital from the moment he passed out we got him to a hospital and he still did not make it.

You are talking good preventions, but you have to be aware these are not the causes of sids. Sids can not be defined and in my research. SIDS CAN NOT BE STOPPED.

Your baby can not die from not burping enough, but I suggest for the mother or father who asked the question talk to your town's local coroner or police department. You may find more comfort their then when you google. Everyone has their own opinions and it will drive you crazy and know you are not alone.

i would say about 20 to 40 pounds

Without knowing the actual cause of the death of young Jet Travolta, it's hard to guess, but Kawasaki's disease is a disease of younger children (usually 5 and under). It causes swelling and can leave heart and vessel damage behind, though fortunately most children have a complete recovery. The most common vessel problem left behind is aneurysms, or weaknesses in blood vessels, which can swell over time, thinning out the wall of the vessel and causing it to burst. Again, there's no way to answer your question definitively, but both the age of the young man and the time of year make it unlikely that it was a primary Kawasaki's episode, but certainly doesn't rule out the possibility that he succumbed to a secondary symptom from that earlier infection.
