Cot death, also known as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), is a tragic and unexpected occurrence that can happen to babies under the age of one. There are a number of synonymous terms used to describe the phenomenon, including crib death, infant sudden death, and unexplained infant death. Regardless of the terminology used, the loss of a baby is always a devastating and heartbreaking experience for families.
