The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends putting infants to sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Smoking during pregnancy and after the baby is born also increases the risk of SIDS. Therefore, parents should make sure the mother does not smoke during pregnancy or after the baby is born.
