Cot Death or SIDS ( Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is described as the sudden and unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant under one year of age. The diagnosis of SIDS is only made after all possible causes have been ruled out through post mortem , death scene investigations and review of the infant’s medical history

• PLACE BABY ON THE BACK TO SLEEP

• The risk of cot death is significantly reduced with babies sleeping on their backs.

• Sleep positioners are very useful to encourage back sleeping from an early age.

• Babies are not more likely to choke on their backs, in fact they’re more likely to choke on their vomit if lying on their tummies.

• During the day when baby is awake, place him on his tummy to help strengthen neck and back muscles.
