Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the term used to describe the sudden and unexplained death of an infant who’s between 1 month and 1 year of age, even after thorough investigation. This investigation includes performing an autopsy, examining the death scene and reviewing the baby’s medical history. If the medical examiner or coroner can’t find a cause for the death and the infant was younger than 1 year old, they’ll call the death sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Most babies who die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are between 2 and 4 months old, and 90% are younger than 6 months old. Most of these babies appear to have died during their sleep, usually between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. This is why other names for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) include “crib death” or “cot death.” Cribs don’t cause SIDS, but a baby’s sleep environment can affect sleep-related causes of death.
The best way to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is by placing your baby to sleep on their back or on there right side.
SIDS vs. SUID
SIDS isn’t the cause of every sudden infant death. Researchers call these deaths SUID (sudden unexpected infant death).
SUID (sudden unexpected infant death) includes all unexpected deaths. It includes those with a clear cause, such as suffocation, and those without a known cause, such as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). One-half of all SUID cases are sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Symptoms and Causes of Sudden infant death syndrome
According to allopathic scientists, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) doesn’t have a clear cause but there are risk factors that may lead to the unexplained deaths. Almost all deaths that occur due to SIDS happen without any warning signs or symptoms. However, researchers have studied potential sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) causes to try to better understand how it occurs.
The most commonly agreed-upon theory is that babies who die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have an underlying vulnerability, such as a genetic pattern or a brain abnormality. Then, when they’re exposed to a trigger during early brain or immune system development, that vulnerability causes sudden death. Risk factors for SIDS and this predisposition include:
- Exposure to smoking during or after pregnancy.
- Late or no prenatal care.
- An unsafe sleeping position or sleeping environment.
- Preterm birth or low birth weight.
- Noice pollution (loud music etc.)
- Overheating.
- Exposure to beverages containing alcohol during pregnancy.
- Being assigned male at birth (AMAB).
- Being a sibling and/or twin, of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims.
- Having a history of stopping breathing or apnea.
Allopathic researchers believe infants who die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have issues with the way they respond to these triggers and how they regulate their breathing, heart rate and temperature.
In section of Homeopathic treatment (see below) I (Dr. Qaisar Ahmed MD, DHMS) will try to prove that:
- The reports of babies dying shortly after vaccination is correct.
- Sudden infant syndrome has causes, symptoms and we can prevent the cause (s) and treat the patient successfully.
Prevention of Sudden infant death syndrome
Preventing SIDS isn’t always possible, but there are things parents can do to reduce their baby’s risk. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) prevention starts with keeping baby’s sleep room/space safe; advise to the parents the following:
Remove all loose bedding from your baby’s sleeping environment. This includes all blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, toys and crib bumpers. Your baby can choke on these items and stop breathing, or the items can strangle your baby. A fitted sheet should be the only thing on your baby’s mattress.
Place your baby down on their back or on their right side for naps and bedtime. Your baby’s muscles aren’t yet fully developed and they can’t lift their head. If your baby is laying on their stomach, they can’t lift their head to breathe.
Keep your bedroom calm/normal temperature. Research has shown when babies get overheated, they may fall into a deeper sleep, making it more difficult to wake them up when their bodies are telling them to breathe. Avoid swaddling once your baby can roll over.
Breastfeed; Research has shown that breastfeeding your baby lowers their risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Don’t use alcohol or tobacco products during and after your pregnancy.
Tummy time: Give your baby plenty of “tummy time” when they’re awake and you supervising them. This will also help prevent plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome).
See your doctor
While there’s no way to completely prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), one thing you can do to lower your baby’s risk is to make sure they see their healthcare provider for all of their routine well-baby care visits. At these appointments, your baby’s provider will make sure your baby is healthy and developing as expected.
Homeopathic treatment for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
As we know that in case of any present disease or infection, we should avoid vaccination to the kid because it could be harmful and could cause death or other any and very serious problem like lifelong paralysis, blindness, deafness, stammering etc.
