Here are some of the excluding criteria most
experts agree on: «Obese parents; parents who smoke (either during pregnancy or at present); parents
sleeping on a waterbed, recliner, sofa, armchair, couch or bean bag; parents who
sleep on
multiple pillows, a sagging mattress or a sheepskin or use heavy bedding, such as comforters or duvets;
sleeping in overheated rooms; parents under the influence of drugs or alcohol; other children or pets who can or are likely to climb into the bed; and stuffed animals on the bed that could cover the baby's face.»
