MedlinePlus: Sudden infant death syndrome (sids) is the sudden, unexplained death of an infant younger than one year old. some people call sids "crib death" because many babies who die of sids are found in their cribs.
sids is the leading cause of death in children between one month and one year old. most sids deaths occur when babies are between two months and four months old. although health care professionals don't know what causes sids, they do know ways to reduce the risk. these include
placing babies on their backs to sleep, even for short naps - "tummy time" is for when babies are awake and someone is watching
using a firm sleep surface, such as a crib mattress covered with a fitted sheet
keeping soft objects and loose bedding away from sleep area
making sure babies don't get too hot - keep the room at a comfortable temperature for an adult

MalaCards: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as sids, is related to sudden cardiac death multi-gene panels and reye syndrome. An important gene associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, serotonin), member 4), and among its related pathways are Fatty acid metabolism and Neuropathic Pain-Signaling in Dorsal Horn Neurons. The compounds mdma and nicotine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and liver, and related mouse phenotypes are hematopoietic system and respiratory system. Genetics Home Reference: Hereditary hyperekplexia is a condition in which affected infants have increased muscle tone (hypertonia) and an exaggerated startle reaction to unexpected stimuli, especially loud noises. Following the startle reaction, infants experience a brief period in which they are very rigid and unable to move. During these rigid periods, some infants stop breathing, which, if prolonged, can be fatal. This condition may explain some cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is a major cause of unexplained death in babies younger than 1 year. Infants with hereditary hyperekplexia have hypertonia at all times, except when they are sleeping.17 CDC: Sudden unexpected infant deaths are defined as deaths in infants less than 1 year of age that occur suddenly and unexpectedly, and whose cause of death are not immediately obvious prior to investigation.2 Wikipedia: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is marked by the sudden death of an infant that is not predicted by...44 more...
