The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths
(FSID) – cot death research and support
FSID is the UK’s leading cot death charity aiming
to prevent sudden infant death and promote baby health.
FSID raises funds for research (over £8 million) into
the causes and prevention of cot death, supports bereaved
families and offers information and advice on how to reduce
the risk of cot death.
To reduce the risk of cot death:
• Place your baby on the back to sleep
• Cut smoking in pregnancy – fathers too!
• Do not let anyone smoke in the same room as your
baby
• Do not let your baby get too hot
• Keep your baby’s head uncovered – place
your baby with feet to the foot of the cot, to prevent wriggling
down under the covers
If your baby is unwell, seek medical advice promptly
