Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

NPR's Allison Aubrey reports that many new parents, especially black parents, aren't aware of how to avoid Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and as a result hundreds of babies die every year. The government says a new public health campaign geared towards the African- American community is necessary to avoid these preventable deaths.
