A member asked:
My wife and i lost a baby to sids when he was a few days old. both of us have asthma. could this have been the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not specifically: SIDS has been a hard to study problem because of its unpredictable nature and the rapid changes in the victim after death.Known predisposing factors include multiple birth,prematurity,smokers in the household,poverty,prone sleeping position, and several others. Your history of asthma does not rise to this level.
