What is it and why does the death of the cradle occur?

Figures of the Medical Insurance for a New Generation They point out that around 350 children in Mexico die of sudden infant death syndrome or better known as death of cradle.

It is known among the population as an event in which the infant dies unexpectedly and for unknown reasons. The syndrome of sudden infant death still has many questions, which National Institutes of Health seeks to respond through a questioning that many parents refuse to perform.

 

What is it and why does the death of cradle ?

It is considered Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) when at the autopsy of a baby less than one year old who stopped breathing the cause is not found. Although multiple purely statistical risk factors have been identified, scientifically there is no certainty of what causes this disorder.

 

 

How frequent is it and at what age does cradle death occur?

It is the leading cause of death of apparently healthy babies (approximately 1 in 2 thousand births, during the first year of life), mainly between 2 and 4 months of age, and attacks babies up to 1 year.

It is normal for babies to have apneas (respiratory arrest), but when should I worry?

Babies breathe between 40 and 55 times per minute. It is normal to stop doing it in 4 to 8 seconds, but an event of more than 10 seconds is abnormal and if it reaches 20 seconds it is considered very serious.

In most cases it is enough to straighten the baby, the movement will cause it to draw air ... but unfortunately it is extremely difficult to detect it in time when the baby sleeps.

 

Are there other identified causes of respiratory arrest in a baby?

Yes, the most common are digestive disorders (reflux, bronchoaspiración) or respiratory (phlegm), and even accidental asphyxia by obstruction. But these cases are not related to crib death.

Who are more likely to suffer crib death?

Premature babies, multiple pregnancies, low birth weight, passive smoking, mothers with addictions during pregnancy, etc., but healthy babies can also be victims of SIDS.

A useful tool for parents: The Snuza Monitor already exists in Mexico, which upon detecting a 15-second interruption in the baby's breathing (very early to avoid brain damage), stimulates it to breathe again, and issues a warning if the respiratory arrest reaches 20 seconds.

Snuza emits a slight "twitch" (with volume adjustment) on each respiratory movement, literally allowing parents to "hear" the baby breathing.
