re not reliable in predicting how, when, why, or if SIDS will occur. Maternal risk factors include :
              Maternal age less than 20 years
              History of Sexually transmitted diseases
             These factors, which often may be subtle and undetected, suggest that SIDS may
             Somehow associated with a harmful prenatal environment. After birth, there also are numerous risk factors which can significantly influence the chance of SIDS. These include such things as: (Corr, et al., 1991)
             By definition, the causes of SIDS are not known. Attempts to explain the

             times. Initially, if a baby died suddenly and unexpectedly in a bed shared
             with adults, it was thought to be due to an adult rolling on to the infant during sleep.
             This was called 'over-laying' (Goyco, et al., 1990).

             No consistent warning signs occur that might alert us to the risk of SIDS. Sometimes the infant was not feeding so well on the day he or she died, or there may have been symptoms of a slight cold or tummy upset (Goy
