Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the most serious health problem during infancy as it can result in the sudden and unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant. Colic and seborrheic dermatitis, although uncomfortable and unpleasant, are not life-threatening. Failure to thrive can be serious if left untreated, but it is a gradual process and does not pose an immediate threat like SIDS.
