Feedback:
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been associated with prone positioning of newborns and infants, so the infant should be placed to sleep on the back. The baby should sleep on a firm mattress without pillows or comforters. The baby's bed should be placed away from air conditioner vents, open windows, and open heaters. By 4 months of age night waking may occur, but the infant should be capable of sleeping through the night and does not require a night feeding.
