Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of infant death between 1 and 12 months of age, accounting for over 2,000 deaths in the U. S. each year. The actual rate of SIDS in child care is more than double the expected rate. While the exact cause(s) of SIDS is unknown, researchers have identified several risk factors for SIDS. This 2-hour course is designed to help Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) trainees gain a better understanding of SIDS, including what it is, behaviors that increase the risk of SIDS, common myths about SIDS, and resources to help child care providers reduce the risk of SIDS.
