Researchers are getting closer to answers, but currently there are no explanations for the cause or causes of the deaths of these apparently healthy babies. Babies should be placed to sleep only on a firm mattress or other firm surface. Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby. Mothers should get early and regular care during pregnancy, and should consider breastfeeding. Mission The SIDS Foundation of Washington is dedicated to the informational and emotional support of bereaved families, to the education of the general public and professionals and to the ultimate elimination of this tragic medical phenomenon through research.
Dedicated volunteers provide invaluable assistance in the offices and field.
