Sudden infant death syndrome: how to keep your baby safe

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden and unexpected death of a baby under the age of 12 months where no cause is found.

While doctors don’t know exactly what triggers it, there are ways to significantly reduce the chances of SIDS occurring:

Put your baby on their back for all sleeps – day and night
Share a room with your baby for the first six months
Place your baby on their own, clear, flat sleep surface (e.g. cot or Moses basket)
Keep your baby smoke-free during pregnancy and after birth
Never sleep on a sofa or armchair
Do not co-sleep if you or anyone in the bed has been drinking alcohol, smoking, or taking drugs or medication that makes you drowsy

These things are especially important for babies who were born prematurely or of a low birth weight, as they are typically at higher risk of SIDS.
