  1. Interviewing parents to determine the cause of the SIDS incident.
   2. Allowing parents to hold, touch, and rock the infant.
   3. Sheltering parents from the grief by not giving them any personal items of the infant, such as footprints.
   4. Advising parents that an autopsy is not necessary.
