Which babies are more likely?
Babies under one year are at risk, but some babies are more likely to be affected than others if any of the following characteristics:
• Sleeping on the stomach
This is the factor that is most associated with SIDS. According to most investigations babies sleeping on their stomachs are at increased risk of death ranges from 2% to 12% according to the study. This risk increases further when the baby is accustomed to sleeping on his back and for some reason, put it to sleep face down, as may be the case when someone new starts to watch the baby (relative, babysitter or day care).
The hypothesis is that a baby sleeping face down are more prone to overheat faster, having apneas (breathing pauses) and inhaled and exhaled air, ie carbon dioxide.
