According to AMBOSS "Having the baby sleep in supine position is a strategy recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for reducing the risk of SIDS. Several studies have shown that sleeping in the prone position is the single most significant modifiable risk factor for SIDS. Although the mechanism is not clear, sleeping in the prone position or on the side seems to predispose children to suffocation.
Placing an infant on their stomach while awake and supervised (tummy time) helps strengthen neck and shoulder muscles. Strong shoulder and neck muscles facilitate the baby's rotation of the head to a position that does not obstruct the airway when they roll onto the belly while sleeping."
Secondhand smoke is a wrong answer stating, "Exposing infants to secondhand smoke increases their risk of SIDS and should, therefore, be avoided. While preventing exposure to secondhand smoke is an important recommendation, another measure has a more significant impact on SIDS prevention."
