Through the Back to Sleep program developed by the AAP, there has been a lower number of infant deaths from SIDS. This has encouraged the supine sleeping position. One of the consequences of the supine sleeping position is plagiocephaly. The primary intervention to decrease the risk of plagiocephaly is "tummy time." Parents should be instructed to allow supervised tummy time while the infant is awake and cautioned about the amount of time their infant spends in a car seat. SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants 28 to 365 days of age. By definition, the cause of SIDS is not known.
