Publisher's Synopsis

What are the causes behind the tragedy of cot death? It is generally accepted that cot death does not have a single cause, but is one consequence of several factors. Some studies have suggested that laying infants to sleep on their fronts may be a factor. This report considers the evidence for this theory, and also examines published evidence on parental smoking, the thermal environment of infants, and breast-feeding.
