We know that following birth (Day 1), the newborn is called a neonate till the age of 28 days. From day 29 (roughly from 1 month), it is called an infant, till 1 year of age! Broadly, an infant is considered up to the age of 1 year! Do you know the leading cause of death of infants? It's "no cause". It is known as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)!
SIDS is defined as the death of a healthy infant without any identifiable cause! The risk is higher in the first 6 months, but it extends to the age of one year! It is seen that SIDS is more prevalent in day care centers than at home!
We already know that there are no exact causes of such infant deaths. But what are the risk factors that bring such a tragedy? Let us learn some of those.
- Inexperienced caregiver at home or at the child care center
- Not using a separate sleep surface (sleeping in the same bed, without using a separate cot)
- Failure to put the infant on his/her back while sleeping Sleeping on the chest increases the risk.
- Having soft objects around, or loose bedding that could obstruct the infant's nose
- Not maintaining a comfortable room temperature; overheating or overcooling
- Failure to breastfeed
- Passive smoking
- Failure to vaccinate on schedule

BEE is the native Hive-Engine token. Being a tribe token, if we have staked BEE, we can earn curation rewards by voting on the posts with #hive-engine tags. Using the same tag in our post, we can earn author rewards also.
If we can't use the staked BEE in our H-E wallet, we can delegate the tokens and earn rewards without doing anything. The bee.voter account gives us that opportunity!
For example, by delegating 854 $BEE token to the above-mentioned account, this week I earned 2.126 HIVE!
