Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) typically occurs when infants stop breathing during sleep, often at night, and die suddenly without any apparent reason. It is most common in infants between 1 and 12 months old, not at 36 to 48 months. Sleeping on the back is actually recommended to reduce the risk of SIDS.
