The prone or side sleep position can increase the
risk of rebreathing expired gases, resulting
in hypercapnia and hypoxia.54, — , 57 The prone position also increases the
risk of overheating by decreasing the rate of heat loss and increasing body temperature compared with infants sleeping supine.58, 59 Recent evidence suggests that prone sleeping alters the autonomic control of the infant
cardiovascular system during sleep, particularly at 2 to 3 months of age, 60 and can result
in decreased cerebral oxygenation.61 The prone position places infants at
high risk of SIDS (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3 — 13.1).62, — , 66 However, recent studies have demonstrated that the SIDS
risks associated with side and prone position are similar
in magnitude (OR: 2.0 and 2.6, respectively) 63 and that the population - attributable
risk reported for side sleep position is
higher than that for prone position.65, 67 Furthermore, the
risk of SIDS is exceptionally
high for infants who are placed on their side and found on their stomach (OR: 8.7).63 The side sleep position is inherently unstable, and the probability of an infant rolling to the prone position from the side sleep position is significantly greater than rolling prone from the back.65, 68 Infants who are unaccustomed to the prone position and are placed prone for sleep are also at greater
risk than those usually placed prone (adjusted OR: 8.7 — 45.4).63, 69,70 Therefore, it is critically important that every caregiver use the supine sleep position for every sleep period.
