As further noted by the Mayo Clinic, babies who sleep
on their
stomach, or
on a
soft bedding
surface, may face additional difficulties breathing and be at risk of SIDS.
At the last sleep, more cases than controls were placed
on their
stomachs or sides, did not use a pacifier, were found with bedding or clothing covering the head, slept
on a
soft surface, and shared a bed with someone other than a parent.
