Ways to reduce sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS: Always put babies to sleep on their backs. Never smoke around a baby. Keep stuffed animals and loose bedding, such as blankets and pillows, out of the crib. Don't use a bumper, or use one that is too firm to mold around a baby's face. Give the baby a pacifier, as long as the baby is older than 2 weeks and already breastfeeding.
