    Fact

    Placing healthy babies on their backs to sleep reduces the risk of SIDS.

    In 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that healthy babies be placed on their backs to sleep.

    That recommendation, along with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's 1994 "Back-to-Sleep" campaign (now known as the Safe to Sleep® campaign), encouraged caregivers to place infants on their backs to sleep, and coincided with a dramatic reduction in the SIDS rate in the United States.

    See the latest recommendations on a safe infant sleep environment from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

    Also, research has found the rate of SIDS declined dramatically following the 1994 "Back-to-Sleep" campaign, and then stabilized in the 2000s at a time when the number of infant immunizations was increasing.

    The findings provide strong evidence that immunization is not linked to SIDS. See the published article on SIDS rates.
