Abstract

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading category of death for post‐neonatal babies in wealthy countries and rates range from 0.06 to 0.9/1000 liveborn infants (1). Most research into infant sleep safety and SIDS is conducted in large countries and published in English; smaller nations may not have the resources to conduct SIDS case‐control studies, nor the population size to make them viable. Consequently, in some countries SIDS risk‐reduction guidance can be patchy, and parental safe sleep knowledge may be ad‐hoc and based on guidance issued in other countries.
