Detailed explanation-1: -The safest sleep position is on the back. Babies who sleep on their backs are at lower risk for SIDS than babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides. If baby usually sleeps on their back, putting them on the stomach or side to sleep for a nap or at night, increases the risk for SIDS by up to 45 times.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1994, a campaign called “Back to Sleep” (now called Safe to Sleep) raised awareness for putting children to bed on their backs. The campaign was a success-it dropped the incidence of SIDS by 60 percent.
Detailed explanation-3: -The simple act of placing infants on their backs to sleep significantly lowers SIDS risk. As stomach sleeping has declined in response to back-sleeping campaigns worldwide, statistics show that the contribution of side sleeping to SIDS risk has increased.
