How can i lessen the risk of sids?

Sleep on the back: It is safest to sleep your baby on his or her back. That is the best position as babies who sleep on their stomachs are at the highest risk of developing sids. Also, avoid exposure to second-hand smoke as this is also a risk factor.

Back to Sleep: Experts now recommend: - put your baby to sleep on her back - be sure that your baby sleeps on her own, and not in her parents' bed - encourage the use of a pacifier when she sleeps.
