The Resource Center emphasizes several key prevention strategies, including:
Safe Sleep Practices: Placing infants on their backs to sleep, using a firm sleep surface, and keeping the sleep area free of soft bedding and toys. Breastfeeding: Encouraging breastfeeding, which has been shown to reduce the risk of SIDS. Smoke-Free Environment: Ensuring that infants are not exposed to secondhand smoke. Regular Prenatal Care: Promoting regular prenatal care to improve the overall health of the mother and the infant.
