Unexplained deaths in infancy, England and Wales: 2015

Unexplained infant deaths in 2015 were the lowest on record in England and Wales. This could be due to a greater awareness of safe sleeping practices and a reduction in the number of mothers smoking during pregnancy.

There were a total of 191 unexplained infant deaths in England and Wales in 2015. 

Unexplained infant deaths accounted for 7.4% of all infant deaths occurring in England and Wales in 2015.
