How to limit the risk of sudden death

Using a baby pillow as an assistant to help your baby sleep better doesn't seem entirely true. Recently, the Good House Keeping Institute of Life - the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned parents not to use a pillow block for babies under 6 months old because of the high risk of sudden death.
