Signs and symptoms

Almost all SIDS deaths occur without any warning, signs or symptoms when the infant is thought to be sleeping. Symptoms may be caused by problems with the breathing, with how well the brain controls the breathing, heart rate and rhythm, and temperatures during the first few months of life. SIDS still has no signs or symptoms. Babies who die of SIDS seem healthy before being put to bed. They show no signs of struggle and are often found in the same position as when they were placed in bed.

Experiments show that both humans and experimental infants animals showed fascinating results about attachments research. -Attachment to their mothers had the best cortisol balance.-The longer infant animals were separated from their mothers, the higher the cortisol levels, suggesting that these babies could be chronically stressed. Prolonged cortisol elevations may diminish growth and may suppress the immune system. For more research information go to askdrsears.com

How is contracted

SIDS is not contracted. *The death is unexplained by history or through examinations, including an autopsy, it's still defined as SIDS. The exact cause is unknown, but sudden infant death syndrome may be associated with abnormalities in the portion of an infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep. Although all babies are vulnerable, certain sleep environments have been linked to increased risk.

SIDS rates have dropped dramatically since 1992, when parents were first told to put babies to sleep on their backs or sides to reduce the likelihood of SIDS. Unfortunately, SIDS remains a significant cause of death in infants under one year old, ( between 1 and 12 months of age). Thousands of babies die of SIDS in the United States each year. SIDS is most likely to occur between 2 and 4 months of age. SIDS affects boys more often than girls.
