New sudden infant death syndrome study offers intriguing results, but the cause of SIDS remains undetermined, scientists stress
A new study on sudden infant death syndrome suggests an enzyme may be key to predicting which babies die of SIDS. But scientists stress that the study, conducted by Australian researchers, is far from definitive and that parents of newborns should still follow safe sleep practices. The AAP advises babies sleep on their backs in a crib with a fitted sheet until they turn 1 year old.
