SIDS Awareness Month

About 4,000 infants under the age of one die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the United States. American Indian/Alaskan Native infants are about two times more likely to die of SIDS and other sleep-related SUID than non-Indian infants. Please share information with new parents and caregivers.
