With my first baby (1984) I was told that she should sleep on her tummy. She preferred her back. So I let her nap on her back and put her down at night on her tummy. She slept with us half the time, and after nursing I scooted her up and out of the way on her tummy.

With my last baby (1989) I was told that he should sleep on his side. I tried it. Didn’t work. He slept how he wanted to sleep. All of our children slept with us on a regular basis in addition to the bassinet or crib.
One issue that was not addressed here is the occurrence of SIDS proximal to the regular vaccine schedule. Risk factors are skewed by not addressing this fact. The link has been studied, albeit in a limited manner, and the possibility of a link is unpopular in the present day and age.
Very good article. Thank you.

I appreciate your evenhanded approach to the subject.
