Although the precise mechanism behind SIDS is still unknown, several theories have been proposed:
Genetic factors: Some infants may have a genetic predisposition that makes them more susceptible to SIDS. Brain abnormalities: Defects in the portion of the brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep may contribute to SIDS. Infection: Some studies suggest that infections could trigger a fatal response in vulnerable infants. Environmental stressors: Factors like sleeping position, bedding, and sleep environment may collectively pose a risk.
