Tobacco exposure is a known risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It is important for pregnant women and those around infants to avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke, as it can increase the risk of SIDS. Drinking alcohol, eating processed foods, and eating unpasteurized foods do not have a direct correlation with SIDS, but they may still have negative effects on the health of the mother and the developing baby.
