There are a couple of other things that you can do to help prevent SIDS. While not putting your baby to sleep on his stomach or putting him in too much bedding or pajamas are the big ones, there is also not smoking in the house or really anywhere near the baby. When the baby inhales the smoke it makes the baby's lungs not function as well. Also smoking and drinking while you are pregnant can lead to SIDS as well as poor prenatal care. Some other things that can contribute are low birth-weight and mommies that are under 20.
