Australian researchers say they ve identified one potential biomarker for sudden infant death syndrome, known as SIDS, but experts caution that it s just one piece of the puzzle.
A new study on sudden infant death syndrome suggests an enzyme may be key to predicting which babies die of SIDS. But scientists stress that the study, conducted by Australian researchers, is far from definitive and that parents of newborns should still follow safe sleep practices. The AAP advises babies sleep on their backs in a crib with a fitted sheet until they turn 1 year old.
