Since it is impossible to identify which babies may not arouse normally, and because the relationship between SIDS and sleep position is so strong, the Academy recommends that all infants be placed to sleep on their backs.
Prone positioning has been shown to have many advantages for prematurely born infants, however the preterm infant is at risk for postural abnormalities and there is a strong association between the prone sleep position and SIDS (4), with preterm infants accounting for 10% and 20% of SIDS cases (5) and there is increasing pressure to avoid the prone sleep position in all infants.
