 Sudden unexplained infant death, commonly known SUID, SIDS or crib death, affects approximately 3,400 infants each year. Sudden unexpected infant deaths usually occur when an infant is sleeping, and causes can include suffocation, unknown infection, ingestion and other unknown causes. Not only has there been minimal improvement in rates of sleep-related deaths over the past two decades, but racial and ethnic disparities in SUID persist, including increased mortality rates. These disparities are indicative of the broader landscape of inequities within our healthcare systems. Today, we are talking about how providers and healthcare professionals can educate families and help them catch early signs of SUID.  Guests: Sunah Hwang, MD, is a neonatologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Aniekan Udoko, MD is a neonatal-perinatal medicine fellow at Children’s Hospital Colorado.  For more information on Children’s Hospital Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org
