Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants should be placed to sleep on their backs as it has been shown to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a leading cause of infant mortality. Sleeping on their sides or stomachs increases the risk of SIDS. Propping the infant up with their head higher than their feet is also not recommended as it can lead to accidental suffocation.
