Sudden infant death syndrome is the leading cause of death for infants aged between 1-12 months. Each year in the US, over 2,000 infants die of the syndrome, defined as the sudden death of an infant under 1 year old that cannot be explained. Now, a new study points to bed-sharing as the single greatest risk factor for sleep-related deaths in younger infants. The new study - published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - assessed sleep-related infant deaths from 24 states during the period of 2003-2014, using the case reporting system of the National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths.
