More babies over one month of age die as a cot death than from any other cause. Though, we do not know how to prevent these deaths, we do know how to reduce the risk of them occuring. FSID has funded over 8 million worth of research in hospitals and universities. The evidence suggests that there is no single cause and that a number of factors may interact to bring about death in some babies at a vulnerable stage of development.
