SIDS is a syndrome of unexpected death of the baby. This may b due to prone position during sleep or obstruction of airflow while sleep. Some muscular ds, metabolic ds, infection may also cause this. So u should consult about the cause with treating doctor as it may b a recurrent cause in next baby.
