increased risk of SIDS if the infant was swaddled and placed in the prone position.182 Although a recent study
found a 31-fold
increase in SIDS risk with swaddling, the analysis was not stratified according to sleep position.171 Although it may be more likely that parents will initially place a swaddled infant supine, this protective effect may be offset by the 12-fold

breastfeeding, or reduces maternal cigarette smoking.
