Can SIDS occur while baby is held by parent?

No, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) cannot occur while a baby is held by a parent. SIDS is defined as the sudden, unexpected death of an infant under one year of age that remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. It typically occurs during sleep and is not caused by any external factors such as choking or overlaying. Therefore, if a baby is being held by a parent, it is highly unlikely that SIDS can occur.
