Babies whose mothers drank four cups of coffee or more a day during pregnancy have twice the risk of SIDS.

]]> 82500 2 0 Step Quit smoking Quit smoking; it doubles the risk of SIDS by reducing the amount of oxygen your baby gets in the womb.

]]> 82501 3 0 Tip Using illicit drugs like cocaine during pregnancy triples your baby’s risk of SIDS.

]]> 82502 4 0 Step Put him down on his back Put him to sleep on his back. Babies are three times more likely to succumb to SIDS if they are sleeping on their stomach, where the face’s proximity to the mattress can block airflow. Also, never lay him on a waterbed or beanbag.

]]> 82503 5 0 Step Unclutter his crib Unclutter his crib. Blankets, pillows, and quilts look cute but put your baby at risk of suffocating. Too much heat and bundled clothes are dangerous, too. To keep him warm and cozy, put him in a wearable blanket, available at baby stores.

]]> 82504 6 0 Step Don’t share beds Don’t share your bed! If you want to sleep close to your baby, experts recommend putting a separate bed next to yours, or adding a co-sleeper, which attaches to your bed.

]]> 82505 7 0 Step Give him a pacifier Give him a pacifier. Studies show it reduces a baby’s risk of SIDS by a whopping 92%. Researchers aren’t sure why, but think the bulky pacifier allows air to flow through even if the baby’s face gets covered.

]]> 82506 8 0 Step Breastfeed Breastfeed. Babies who are breastfed have a 16% lower risk of SIDS than bottle-fed tots. They also have a 31% lower risk of injury and 21% lower risk of death for any reason at all.

]]> 82507 9 0 Fact Mothers who wait at least a year between giving birth and getting pregnant again lower the risk that their new baby will suffer SIDS.
