Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Print Page 
Photographs supplied by Sandra Brown
Tree planted in memory of infants who have died from Sudden Infant Death Dyndrome (SIDS).
(SIDS), also known as cot death, is a diagnosis that's made when an apparently healthy baby dies, without warning, and for no clear reason. When a baby dies suddenly, doctors and investigators try to find out why. This includes a post-mortem examination, seeing where the baby died, and a review of the baby's medical notes.
In less than half of all cases of SIDS, a health condition, illness or accident is found to be the cause. SIDS is rare, but it is still the most common cause of death in newborn babies.
