The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) is one of the UK's leading baby charities working to prevent sudden infant deaths and promote baby health. FSID:
- Funds research into the causes of sudden infant death.
- Supports families who have been devastated by cot death.

- A wide range of publications and resources.
- A network of befrienders to support bereaved families.
- A phonecard for bereaved families to call the helpline free of charge.
