Distress Syndrome Infant breathing occurs when the lungs are not fully developed and usually occurs in premature infants.... Babies with this syndrome have a normal breathing problem.... ### What causes respiratory distress syndrome in infants?... Surfactant is a substance that causes the expansion and contraction of small air in the lungs.. By opening the alveoli.... Premature babies lack surfactant... this can cause lung and breathing problems... This syndrome can also occur due to a developmental problem related to genetics... #### Who is at risk of respiratory distress in newborns?.. Lungs and lung function develop in the womb..
