What is another word for Cot Deaths?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒt dˈɛθs] (IPA)

This term is often used interchangeably with the medical term Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, there are several other synonyms used to describe this tragic occurrence such as crib death, Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), and unexplained infant death.
