Although much more research is needed, it is currently believed that SIDS results when a baby’s body has difficulty regulating blood pressure, breathing, or temperature (or a combination of these things) because of an underlying vulnerability or developmental problem. When stressed by outside factors, including being put to sleep lying face down (on their stomachs), these babies can die of SIDS.
