The Safe to Sleep campaign, formerly known as the Back to Sleep campaign, [1] is an initiative backed by the US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the US National Institutes of Health to encourage parents to have their infants sleep on their backs (supine position) to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.

[11] A 2016 review found tentative evidence that swaddling increases the risk of SIDS, especially among babies placed on their bellies or sides while sleeping. [68]
The results indicated that infants with particular levels of those metabolites in their blood had a higher risk of SIDS — up to 14 times the odds compared to infants with the lowest risk.
This is a list of U.S. states, the District of Columbia and territories by infant mortality rates in 2021. The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births.
