A new research study conducted says that 20 percent of Sudden Infant Death Syndome (SIDS) cases in 11 states occured in day care.

Infants are most vulnerable at 2 to 5 months old, often when a mother returns to work, says the chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics SIDS task force.

In 1997, American Indian children had the highest SIDS mortality rate of any ethnic group in the US.
