While we cannot yet prevent SIDS in all cases, thousands of SIDS/SUID deaths are being prevented each year when parents understand and adhere lifesaving safe sleep messages. When you are ready, please visit First Candle’s Bedtime Basics for Babies section of the website to learn how you can give your baby the greatest protection against SIDS, suffocation and accidents during sleep.

In the  meantime, please be assured that First Candle will continue critically needed research and advocacy efforts that will lead to additional preventive strategies and the potential to identify babies born at increased risk for sudden infant death.
