Babies need to be placed on their backs only - for every period of sleep. Babies placed on their sides have a 2 x greater risk of SIDS. This is extremely important information for every new parent! Having worked with bereaved families for over 12 years, I must say it is imperative for parents to follow the easy risk reduction recommendations, in order to ensure that every baby survives and thrives! The ABC"s of safe sleep are that babies must sleep alone, on their backs, in their cribs! These recommendations are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
