This site was created by BUPA Foundation which is a independent medical research charity. I think this site does not have
enough information covering this topic, but may be useful for parents move on after their baby has passed and sources
parents can use to help them cope with this type of situation.


This site was created on March 2000, written by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It informs readers about how SIDS is a disease that
occurs within infants from one month to one year. SIDS can be determined though an autopsy. Also, going into a greater amount
of detail about risk factors and their definitions. I like the fact that it display information about other causes of death within
Infants that was mistaken for SIDS. I found that this is a good web page to display for a reasearch project.

latest news, a general overview, coping, prevention, institutes, research and specific
conditions, and genetics. This web page is regularly updated with current articles.
