There are so many reasons of SIDS in infants during sleep. Already discussed in detail like rebreathing of expired CO2, Cold climate ,high altitude Heating Bed in cold climate or Low PH . But we can drastically reduced the incidence of SIDS if we avoid the sleeping of infant in prone position

Dov Jordan Gebien

Thank you Alok Kumar Bharti

Yes, it's complicated. Has low pH been identified as a risk factor for SIDS? If so, then that would provide support for one of my two hypotheses.
