Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most likely cause of the baby's sudden death with no apparent cause is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age that remains unexplained after a thorough investigation, including an autopsy, a complete review of the medical history, and an examination of the death scene. It is sometimes called "crib death" or "cot death" as it often occurs when a baby is sleeping. Other causes listed (asthma, respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia) typically have more obvious symptoms and causes.
