Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in Canada.: HP35-51/2014E-PDF

Recent data indicate that Quebec has the lowest rate, while Nunavut has the highest. The decrease in SIDS may be explained by a decrease in risk factors such as maternal smoking during pregnancy, and an increase in protective behaviours such as placing babies on their back to sleep and breastfeeding"--Summary.
