Final answer:

Infants should sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of SIDS and cribs should be free of suffocation threats. Bed-sharing increases the risk of SIDS.


Explanation:

Infants must sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is essential to have a firm mattress without any items like blankets or pillows that could pose suffocation threats in the crib. Additionally, bed-sharing increases the risk of SIDS, even when parents do not smoke or consume alcohol or drugs.
