I don't know when that changed--but I continue to tell my kids to put their kids on their tummies to sleep. Our ability to collect and analyze data changed. More babies are found dead/not breathing on their stomachs than are found on their dead/choked on vomit on their backs. What seems like common sense is not supported by the numbers.

They keep changing their minds. We were told 19 years ago to put baby to sleep on her tummy, with her knees tucked up under her and her head turned to one side. Supposedly that helped colic (although none of mine ever had colic) and if she spit up she wouldn't choke (they didn't spit up much either.)

Now they say on the back only, supposedly there's some statistical correlation with SIDS is what I have heard.

But my babies insisted on sleeping kind of part way on their sides, with one knee drawn up and the other kind of trailing behind. You could put them on their tummies and then find them shortly afterwards sprawled to one side. So who knows?
