A member asked:
My daughter is over 3 months but 4 weeks early so 10 weeks and im so afraid of sids but with preemies does sids go by their age or gestational age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SIDS: No one has determined the cause of sids. Place baby on their back to sleep. No toys in the crib. No smokers in the house and be sure they have had time to digest their food before sleep. Yes it is so scary and unfortunately still happens.
