Some experts believe that these bacteria produce such toxins as boost the chemical storm in infants’ bodies that overwhelm them and cause a sudden death. In UK, there are more than 250 sudden baby’s deaths a year and most of them are without any obvious particular reason.

Scientists say that parents can do some things to cut the risk of cot death as they must not smoke during or after pregnancy and keeping babies to sleep on their backs. However, it is not known yet, why these things prove helpful.

A mysterious event known as sudden infant death syndrome has become one of the major causes of death for children under the age of 1.
