Myths And Facts About Sids
Some of the myths about SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) are that babies can catch it, cribs cause it, babies who sleep on their backs will choke if they spit up or vomit during sleep, and that SIDS can be prevented.
Dr. Jaime Fernandez, Pediatric Neonatologist with Homestead Hospital, explains it was called crib death because this is where the babies were found, but it has nothing to do with the actual crib.
